Curse the Dark review!
May. 30th, 2005 05:51 am( the spoileriffic version is here, with strikeout warnings, behind the cut. )
an excerpt (spoileriffic bits removed):
"...A wonderful follow-up to STAYING DEAD, CURSE THE DARK lives up to the fast-paced plot and sardonic wit of the first Retriever novel. Laura Anne Gilman expertly captures the angst of starting that first-real-relationship and marries it with humor to create a delightful romance...
There is never a dull moment in CURSE THE DARK. The snarky humor, intricate plot, and exciting action make it a delight to read, and will leave readers anxiously awaiting the next book in the series."
Kathy Samuels, Romance Reviews Today
(and yes, she too loves P.B. Everyone loves P.B. Bastard's going to take over the entire series, I can tell already... hey Religious Right! I'm popularizing a demon! Come out and ban me already -- I could use the publicity!)
Interestingly enough, not even a burp of discomfort with any of the magical, religious or political things I did. Not sure if she's just totally bought into the world enough to say 'okay, no problem,' or if I was a smidge too subtle... (me? subtle? hah!)
