Book Synopsis
“Xin is an ansible, using her song magic to connect the origin world of the Imperial Authority and its far-flung colonies— a role that is forced upon magically-gifted women “of a certain closeness”. When a dead body comes through her portal at a time of growing rebellion, Xin is drawn deep into a station-wide conspiracy along with Ouyang Suqing, one of the station’s mysterious, high-ranking starmages”
Unfortunate that it wasn’t developed more and that the format was really what sort of killed it for you. Great honest review, Beth. 😀
They are a great writer and this story is well loved, it just didn’t work for me in the time allowed to develop it. I’m going to try one of their longer stories and see if I like it.
