Alyson Howard lysona — Two stars; it's not that interesting. That said, the translator deserves twenty for translating a French novel that omits the letter E into an English novel that does the same. In French, if you drop all Es, you can still write the feminine singular form of the. Because we don't have an e-less version of "the," though, the verbal calisthenics that go into doing without the French "la" are pretty spectacular. I'm pushing it by filing A Void under read - I put it down a little over halfway through because a story must have been one of the many things lost in the translation. For OULIPO work that manages to fit its own criteria while also being at least a little entertaining, Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style is much better.

Leechuga Reyes leechugamutante — Despite the subject matter this was quite a nice story with the sweet and endearing but ever-fearful Bran as its protagonist and the kind and patient Holden as his new master acting as his re-trainer. "Even when we were first bringing you home, when you were frozen stiff and stupid with fear of whatever shit Dunaev had told you about where you were going-- when I touched you gently, you responded. You've got this innocence about you, Bran, this strange-- hope, that just comes leaping out at the slightest provocation. You still don't smile alot, but when you do you look so damn happy, it's like the sun coming out. And that little sigh you give when I hold you, like--[...] like everything's okay." ~Holden (Slave Breaker) "Oh, yes, you make me ridiculously happy," said Holden, sounding more angry than happy at the moment. "I can't ignore you, don't you understand, I'd be wanting to be with you all the time, you're so- and the sound of your voice and the way you look at me, like right now, you look like a damn sunrise, all hope and dawn and light and- fuck, Bran--" He laughed. "I can't think straight, not with you looking at me like that.[...}" ~Holden (Slave Breaker) The writing was excellent, so insightful and descriptive. The world-building was enough for me to envision this disturbing re-introduction of slavery and prompt me to ask myself whether I could make it as a slave. Sterilisation, a submissive nature, being a possession to be used by anyone your master or mistress wished, a high pain tolerance, the risk of suffering the abuse Bran had in the past, and the list goes on. Nope, I don't see it happening. I'd end up dead or if I'm lucky being freed. I don't think I could own slaves either, well not for very long anyway. I'd probably buy them just to free them. Even though I enjoyed reading Bran's Story I'm not sure I'll continue reading because the society described makes me decidedly uncomfortable.
