This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman

This is one seriously cool concept with some amazing worlds and ideas. The problem is that the characters, and Jamisia in particular, kind of fell flat for me. Also some of the gender stuff was... not great (blanket statements about men being easily manipulated by women, the one male personality being strong and violent and almost a caricature of masculinity, Jamisia’s resorting to seducing her way out of every situation). So yeah. Awesome world with weak characters. Although I did like Masada quite a bit.
