book: Night Sky Mine, by Melissa Scott

Is it a fantasy novel with scifi elements, a scifi book with cyberpunk elements, or a cyberpunk book with fantasy elements? It doesn't matter -- the book cascades through well-formed characters with real culture, interacting in a highly technological distant age. There really isn't a climax in the storyline, but it doesn't matter. The characters keep the story moving, not artifically induced external forces that normally move an adventure story along.
