"In this suspenseful and quick read, Gilman maintains the standard set in the first volume of this series—with witty dialogue and banter between Wren and Sergei and further explorations of their growing relationship. Wren and Sergei are opposites in almost every conceivable way, except for their mutual attraction. Gilman has managed the nearly impossible here: a cleverly written and well-balanced fantasy with a strong romantic element that doesn't overpower the main plot." **** 1/2
Gee. Someone should go tell the Amazon.com reviewers that...

I can't stand it...when I get back from vacation, I'm ordering a copy, or buying from Zane at ArmadilloCon. (I turned him on to you, so he should have some copies.)
Then **I** will slay the Amazon Review beast!

Date: 2005-08-01 05:37 pm (UTC)Anyone pays *attention* to Amazon reviews?
Date: 2005-08-01 06:56 pm (UTC)Nonetheless, bravo, and expectations of more of the same from other sources.
And it reminds me the book is out, and I should go buy it. Sorry, I'm slightly distracted these days. Mom is just out of the hospital (resperatory failure from emphysema). My employer was sold to a new corporate owner. (Yes, I still had a job when the dust settled. The IT chap who sat next to me got the chop. It's akin to standing next to the person struck by lightning, simultaneously horrified and relieved.) So I'm rather behind on important stuff, like friends with new books out.
Will buy and read post haste. I could use a Sergei/Wren fix about now. I'll be good and not pester you about the third for a while. :-)
