Jokka are rather odd people, though their culture isn't all that different (aside from the gender oddities) than several Terran ones. I don't much like the protagonist, though I understand her feelings - as her lover says, she's giving nothing and asking for/taking what she wants. They do go along with it, eventually. I hope she learns something from her experience and passes it on - makes the gift they gave her worthwhile. Interesting story, and I do want to read some more about this people. ( )
