The Quantum Rose (Saga of the Skolian Empire, #6)The Quantum Rose by Catherine Asaro
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I just couldn't get into this one.

Farm wife gets ensnared in power-plays between two powerful men, had to deal with rape in one and space-politics with the other.

I guess I was hoping to have a great deal more of the Skolian empire stuff that was smarter on the SF, full of adventure, spaceships -- with just a taste of romance, instead of tons of slightly icky romance that overwhelmed the majority of the tale.

Win some, lose some.
