Beating the nice nice nice thing to death (with fluffy pillows)
My review of A Thread Of Grace by Nina Allan is up now at Strange Horizons. I don’t really have much to add beyond what I said in the review.

Usually I am not overly concerned about whether a SF story is hard or soft or even fantasy. I’m not even that concerned about how the science fictional elements are used. Sometimes though they are either just tacked on (as in ‘Black Tulip’) or really thin (as here). This is a fable about travel and returning home in which the supposedly science fictional element is that the main character is teleported at random by some magic beans.
