snugglekittyThe Strangers in Paradise series continues to do it for me. At this point, I've just finished Immortal Enemies. Three stars. They're consistently readable. I'm glad I picked the series back up. I love the art, the plot, the dialogue - everything but the poetry, pretty much. Four stars.
The Game by Laurie R. King is the first in the Mary Russell Holmes series that draws extensively from a literary source other than Sherlock Holmes. (As far as I've noticed, at least.) It's kind of a sequel in heart to Rudyard Kipling's Kim - what happens when Kim grows up?
I liked it pretty well. I didn't have super-strong feelings about it. I would have liked it more if some of the secondary characters got a little more resolution at the end of the book. Three stars. I occaisionally feel like I ought to read Kim, but like many other books, I never seem to get around to it.
Web of Wind, by JF Rivkin, is the first sequel to Silverglass. I got it through Paperbackswap. This book follows the further adventures of Nyctasia and Corson, sorceress and swordswoman. It wasn't as good as the first one, and the sexual relationship between the main characters which is made explicit in the first book is only alluded to in the second. Three stars. I think I'll keep the book, because it was hard enough to get my hands on the first time.
