quick book update
Oct. 28th, 2009 07:40 amA few last winery stops, and then we're heading back to San Francisco for our reading/signing [The "Wine, Women and Song" mini-tour] at the Park Branch Library (1833 Page St) @7pm. If you're in town, stop by -- as of now the rockers outnumber the skiffy types, which will be fun but disconcerting...
SO, this was the Blog Review Week for Flesh and Fire, and the verdict so far seems positive, if mixed.
The SciFi Guy said "Readers of original and intricate world-building and magic systems should enjoy Flesh and Fire. I did and very much look forward to the next book in the trilogy" and Pick of the Literate said Jerzy was a likeable and believable character ...I strongly recommend the book and hope a sequel is close on its heels. And Carol's Notebook loved both world and characters, and I may send her a copy of Book 2 early, just because she indirectly asked so nicely. *grin*
The Neverending Shelf was also pleased. So was Starting Fresh.
Revenge of the Book Nerd, not so much, although there was a grudging confession that I can write while My Life in Not So Many Words had trouble getting into it, as did Beth's Book Review (one of my favorite negative reviews, in fact, because it reminded me that some reviews are just Not The Right Reader, and all you can do is wish them well, elsewhere.)
It's always interesting to see how someone else reacts to what you've written, and I want to thank the bloggers -- both pro and con -- for taking the time to read and review.
