This story was okay. The protagonist was sometimes funny, but mostly she got on my nerves. It's fine to have an aging Amazon protagonist, but it just seemed like that was ALL she talked about sometimes. And someone upthread pointed out that it's weird to take interstellar trips to a gambling planet that mimics Las Vegas in pretty much every way. I could've done without the sweat-licking, especially so soon after hearing the other story about the man-whore with the tasty body fluids--yick.
Most of all, I just thought it was too long. If it were about half this length I think I wouldn't have had time to pick nits, but I was just waiting for it to get to the point.
