Yes, I absolutely love this book. It's everything I'd expect from an Aliette de Bodard take, and then so much more. The two principal character, Xich Si and Rice Fish, work remarkably well together, and the flow of the narrative is, as far as I'm concerned, damned near perfect. In fact, the only problem i have with The Red Scholar's Wake is that it isn't longer. I want more, dammit!
If you're looking for a heavily character-driven SF sapphic romance, then this is definitely the book for you. For me, it definitely deserves all five of those stars I've given it.
