Jinian Star-Eye
A promising finale to the Jinian trilogy takes a horrifying turn when its treatment of disability, eugenics, and supposedly soulless children undermines everything that came before. What begins as an imaginative fantasy adventure ends in an ethically disastrous mess.

Jinian's second outing loses some of the charm and cohesion of *Jinian Footseer*, especially thanks to underdeveloped companions and Peter's obnoxious pressure for sex, but once Jinian gets room to act on her own, the book finally catches fire.
Jinian Footseer
A pragmatic young woman sets off through a richly imagined fantasy world, encountering strange creatures, mysterious old gods, and no shortage of adventures—with six wonderful older women offering support along the way. A captivating, meandering journey whose pleasures far outweigh its frustratingly rushed conclusion.
