Anyway, I was going to add that the world-building in Point of Hopes is first-rate. The setting is a large pre-industrial city on the verge of industrialization, and like Armor of Light it's clear that a lot of thought and research went into creating the world. It's also one of the most matter-of-fact portrayals of a honest-to-goodness matriarchal society that I've read. And it's slashy, too. :)
