I've had this on my Kindle for two years. This may just be the push I need to finally read it. I'm also hearing good things about her latest, The Vaster Wilds.

and I only came here for a review of a game called Maytrix which turned out to be a book called Mahtrix.
(Which makes sense, as it's Mahria not Mayriah.)

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Tell her, "Get thee to a nunnery!" lol

Thanks for the review, Liz
FWIW I'm currently listening to an audiobook of Elektra by Jennifer Saint.
Matrix has been added to my ever growing reading wishlist on Goodreads and no doubt soon to be purchased to add to the ever growing pile of books to read! lol

This was such a great book. I loved the prose style also. I read an interview with the author and she said that she started writing it because the Trump presidency drove her to seek a world of women at least in her mind. Have you read Hild by Nicola Griffith? It's a remarkable book about Hilda of Whitby, a 7th century English abbess.
