As someone who generally doesn't like romantic subplots, Indigo Rain's is so light even I found myself wanting a little more. The others of the cast are fairly straight forward, but not unwelcome. While the story is utterly complete, I would say I would enjoy seeing more of these characters in the future. Roulette is a little naive and quite resourceful, and I enjoyed being in her head, but I enjoyed Lisha the most an intense, driven character who is suddenly shy and uncomfortable in moments of potential closeness. Stlll I was not moved or wow'd, so the book settles at a solid 4 stars. I can't think of any way the book could have been changed to improve it. The book is short and satisfying not deep or complicated, but it is the best of what it could be. Like Martin's other shorter works, Indigo Rain is tight and neat, a lean, precise writing that leaves you without questions. Martin is an excellent writer, and I look forward to getting more of his works. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice, short read without having to delve into something 300 pages long. It was a pleasure to read, and among the generally $20+ price of books in the Furry Fandom, having a selection of $10 books is nice. It allows her to be put into dangerous situations yet find realistic ways out of said situations without seeming like a deus ex machina solution.Īll in all, I wish I had read this book sooner. Roulette is a nice choice for the protagonist, and Martin writes here with a nice mix of ignorance and street smarts. Indigo Rain also contains a nice mix of characters who help ferry the storyline along. Given the limited page count that he is working with, he still manages to capture everything the reader needs to know about the political climate and racial tension in his world, and every piece of information is used with nothing left behind to feel like filler. The settings that Martin puts together flow off the pages and draw the reader in. Martin is a talented writer, and it shows in this novella. This has been a book I have wanted to read for awhile now, and I am extremely glad I finally got around to reading it.
