[Reading] East of Midnight - Tanith Lee

[white_hart]

I picked this up because a lot of people have been talking about Tanith Lee recently, and I've been meaning to read more of her work (I know I read some in my teens, and liked it, but I don't remember much about it). I am pretty sure I did actually read this once, sometime between 35 and 40 years ago, but I remembered almost nothing about it. I enjoyed it this time round - an interesting take on parallel-worlds fantasy, using the concept of the sacrificial king in a matrilineal society to look at the inherent problems of concentration of power in the hands of one gender. I should definitely read more of her work.
