"An amazing trilogy. I read these books at the perfect time in my life. I felt ugly and defective; I was glad to have a strong female protagonist that understood. Every other book I read at that time had perfect protagonists with perfect bodies, perfect faces who made the perfect decisions and ended up with the perfect man. Gaia is perfectly flawed. How many more times can I say perfect? I loved these books especially prized. The amount of medical, herbal and scientific details in these books was amazing."
