Note 2023: This was probably about "Each to Each" by Seanan McGuire, but it's been 7+ years, who knows? Fucking goodreads.

Meh. Some good ideas, but the backstory/plot ratio was way off and it wound up explainy and preachy. I was never remotely uncertain what the protagonist was going to decide to do.

Heard on the Lightspeed podcast.
