Watchstar
A solitary young woman in a telepathic society must protect an outsider while preparing for a dangerous coming-of-age ordeal. A thoughtfully written exploration of consciousness, morality, and cultural contact—though its philosophical interests didn't entirely align with mine.
Daughter of Night
Lilith's prehistoric world collides with an alien civilization facing cosmic annihilation. An intriguing retelling of ancient mythology gets lost in metaphysical exposition, though its Soviet author's remarkable history adds another dimension to the story.
