I strive to bring you only the most stringently serious-minded of book reviews.

Dang, Lois McMaster Bujold took on some FRAUGHT Tumblr-political and Tumblr-religious issues in The Hallowed Hunt. Brave woman.

Basically, she comes down against all Otherkin being irrevocably cut off from God's grace, which is an unusual stance! But she does hedge her bets a little by taking the position that they'll require a shaman to cleanse their souls after death, and that that shaman is most likely doomed to wander the earth as an unquiet ghost. Reasonable enough.

And I probably don't need to say this, but as always, none of this applies to Horsekin. Don't be a horse, kids.

Other than that the book wasn't that good, unfortunately. Too many characters, too little characterization; too much backstory, too little story.
