Thought I would drop back by this thread and thank you for the recommendation. Instead of a weekend, I lost about two night's sleep. :)
It was an excellent series overall, but you are right: Powers is special. I loved Gav's eventual realization that up until the end, no place he'd lived had ever delivered freedom to all (read: women), no matter what that society promised. A very believable and compelling character development.
Though I found myself wondering fervently what happened to Gav's friends and protectors at his childhood home, and making up my own endings for them. So even the minor characterizations were superb, as usual.
