What:
The Talking Stick CircleFrom: Star Trek Voyager
Who: Janeway, Chakotay, some real fun ofc, and the rest of the crew
Why: Because you're missing out, even if you never liked Trek. And everyone gets their cookie. And some people don't want equality; they just want not to be lumped in with the despised. Maquis rocks. Janeway being sane as well as flexible; alien aliens; as many poc as I wanted to see; grown folks sexing; and making do; grown folk sex AND romance. Sacrifice. Triumph. Loss. Discovery. Tea.
Note: It's a braided novel. There are eight stories meant to be read one after the other.
