The Stars Change: an erotic science fiction novel-in-stories. On a South Asian-settled university planet, tensions are rising, and as they reach the brink of interstellar war, life (and sex) continues. Humans, aliens, and modified humans gather at the University of All Worlds in search of knowledge ... and self-knowledge ... but the first bomb has fallen and the fate of this multicultural, multispecies mecca is in question. Some people will seek solace in physical contact, some will look for spiritual answers, while others will find their strength in community, family, and love. Some will rush home to make love to their wife. Or wives. Or husbands. Or indeterminate gender human and/or alien partners. Others will be forced to decide where they stand -- what is worth fighting for, or maybe even worth dying for.… (altro)

I have no clue how this book got on my reading list. I made it around 90% through, but something about a mother fantasizing about her husbands junk while their children are watching him fix something was just too weird for me. Or maybe just the wrong kind of weird for me. Because they were furries.

I tried to keep an open mind but there is nothing less sexually stimulating and more boring to me than furry erotica.

No stars because I have no idea how to judge gay sci-fi furry erotica???

Several stories weave together until the characters realize their connection to each other and the threat to the world they know. A catgirl and a priestess-courtesan are some of the more unusual characters in a community of mixed aliens and humans. Starts with a bang, slows down a bit, and then picks up again, accompanied by beautiful sketches and poetic descriptions along the way. (

This was a charming novella. While being sexual, it also dealt with relationships and issues of mothers vs daughters, parents and children. It added new characters in, tied the old ones back in, and was just very well-crafted. On a personal note, it was interesting to me to read, as I knew the author as a teen and reconnected with her on FB. So, knowing the author and her life situations added an extra layer for me. And while there is eroticism, there are no gleaming shafts of throbbing manhood... so bonus. The erotica itself is well written, as being a part and parcel of relationships. (

The Stars Change is billed as a novel made up of interconnected stories, but many of the sections wouldn’t actually stand up on their own; read as a novel, however, the fragmentary and shifting narratives dazzle.

As a whole, it was a quick and pleasant book.
