Staying Dead reviewed on SF Site
Aug. 10th, 2004 11:25 amYeah, okay, I admit it, I'm chuffed ( but I can cut-tag most of it now )
(and in conclusion...)
Staying Dead is a romantic fantasy that diehard fantasy purists don't have to be ashamed to be seen with; Gilman delivers an exciting, fast-paced, unpredictable story that never lets up until the very end. There's just enough twists and turns to keep even a jaded reader guessing, and plenty of setup for further Wren and Sergei stories. I eagerly anticipate seeing where Gilman will go with this. (FYI, she has a Wren and Sergei story appearing in Powers of Detection, Ace, Oct. 2004) I highly recommend this book to fans of urban fantasy, especially Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, or Laurell K. Hamilton. This is an extremely strong start, and I hope Gilman keeps it up.
