Jane Lindskold has a truly unique writing style. I can't quite pin it down, but this book will probably be like nothing you've ever read. It's a sci-fi setting without really being sci-fi. The characters are "normal" enough that you can identify with them, but just different enough to be unique and absorbing.
The main character, Sarah, narrates in the first person, but she can only speak in broken phrases and quotes to her human companions. She primarily quotes Shakespeare or the Bible (the title is from Shakespeare, of course), but can speak freely with a toy dragon she carries with her. The setting feels dark and futuristic like Bladerunner, but the story is so focused on the characters and character development that setting takes a back seat.

I adore Jane Lindskold's writing, and hope this book gets the wide circulation it deserves. Please - give it a try!
