Curse the Dark: First Review!*
May. 11th, 2005 07:14 amOkay, it's only Harriet Klausner, but it's still First Review*...
"( some spoilery review stuff )
CURSE THE DARK is a great romantic fantasy that will appeal to readers of Laurell K. Hamilton. The heroine is blacklisted by the Mage Council, is trying to keep the lonejacks from battling the council and is trying to adjust to the consummation of her relationship with Sergei. She also wants the fatae (the non-human magical creatures) protected by Talents who see them as an unfavorable species. Laura Anne Gilman is a master at characterizations, a great world builder and a gifted storyteller."
Doesn't suck. If I took any of this seriously, I might even be chuffed. :-)
*okay, actually, it's first review but not first feedback. I got that via the managing editor at Luna, who glommed onto an early galley and, despite some discomfort with the sex scenes, gave very positive comments. I do wonder how male readers are going to react to Sergei's POV, yes hmmmm yes...
