some small but real brightness into the day...

via a friend with an actual physical copy of the magazine, this review of Curse the Dark:


"With an atmosphere reminiscent of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose by way of Sam Spade, Gilman's second Wren Valere adventure (after Staying Dead) features fast-paced action, wisecracking dialog, and a pair of strong, appealing heroes."

Once I got over my bemusement (no mention of magic? Of fantasy? Of romance?) I decided that I could live with the references -- saleswise, if nothing else!
