I really like the concept here, Bujold gives us a lot to think about. But I can't help feeling that this is a retread, something I've seen plenty of times before. New group of people is treated as an oppressed minority, denied there rights by callous (normal) humans--it's this part that really gets me, I have a hard time understanding this kind of character, they're so often poorly written. And, to be fair, this was written in the mid-80s, it may not so much that she's retreading well walked ground as that others are retreading what she has done.
