Gods of Risk

4.50/5.00She was Una Meing for a moment, and he was Caz Pratihari, and the world was a heady, powerful, romantic place.

A suprisingly beautfiul and touching story of love doomed to fail. The fire of youthful emotions mixed with the wonder of Martian worldbuilding, Gods of Risk is one of the best short stories I have read. The story is so precise in developing martian culture and environment. It allows a main character to ruminate in this story, and be inspired to do better things. This is a powerful story. I liked this short story better than book 2!!
