My least favorite of her works so far feels a bit more sparse and unfulfilled, I have been enjoying the fillin pieces in this world I'm a huge sucker for inworld novellas, as I mention in sitelinkMY BLOG POST ON THIS VERY SUBJECT.
However, this one just didn't quite do it for me, even though Kameron's other shorts have been very enjoyable, I still am interested in her writing it speaks to the grimdarky, dirty sensibilities of my reading, but it just hasn't quite put the pieces together yet.
I think I'll give Mirror Empire a try, and see how I like it, In this short story, a young person tossed into a work camp and categorized as an "imperfect text" becomes an archivist in charge of a historical library etched on human bodies.
