Least favorite of the Karma stories, there's really nothing new here and there were bits and pieces I found troubling/distracting.  Some of this was probably just me--for instance, Karma naming her son Mars.  Helen, Athena...those are Greek names, but Mars is the Roman counterpart to Ares.  I'm beginning to find the first person present voice a bit tiresome, especially because there are accidental tense shifts (same with first couple, but it's becoming more problematic for me).  Also find myself longing for a Karma story that doesn't jump from episode to episode--as short stories, I'd prefer to see time pass uninterrupted, or with only minor jumps--jumping weeks at a time to get to the next episode is beginning to grate.  As I said, these are probably me just being me.I will still purchase the next story, but some of the shine is off the apple for me.
