Final volume in Delany's acclaimed Nevčr˙on series, "which masquerades as Sword-and-Sorcery fantasy . and play both with and against the readers' expectations. They are, in fact, sf in the sense that they invent alien societies, though technically they are Fantasy, being set in a distant, fantastic, pre-industrial past, and to a degree act as both critique and re-creation . Many ideas are explored, from the erotic to the economic, the concept of Slavery appearing in both these idea-sets, and the slave-collar itself coming to be the prime erotically charged symbol; the later volumes make clear reference to the AIDS epidemic" (SFE).
