A woman (Margaret) gets split into seven identities at various point in her life to fulfill an ancient prophesy. Earth is dominated by various alien cultures mostly malign who punish humans for our profligate ways.

Contains elements of SF, fantasy, fairy tale, children's tales. So very odd and inconsistents world buliding. Everybody including the aliens has a technological society the would do the Amish proud. How this meshes with starfairing (and the industrial society needed to sustain it) is anybodies guess. The villians are very bad with no redeeming features, the good aliens all good. Just like real life - if you happen to live in Middle Earth or an E. E. Doc Smith universe.

So it's a mess. But an interesting mess nonetheless. 3/5
