The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit (Wraeththu, No 1)

This was one of those books I just could not finish. It's very rare that I can't at least skim my way through the parts I don't care for and finish the story but this one was just way too convoluted for me.

On top of that this book should come with a bit of a warning. As the blurb says the main characters are "a strange new kind of human being, a race whose psychic powers will place them as far beyond their parent race as man was beyond the ape" what that blurb doesn't tell you is that they are also a new sex as well. Complete with new sex organs which are described rather graphically.

I am in no way a prude but the storyline almost seems to revolve more around the sex than the story of Pellaz, much to the detriment of the story.
