LATE ECLIPSES review roundup.

I have to do this occasionally, or the file I use to store my links may actually CATCH FIRE and EXPLODE. True fact. It's been known to happen. Anyway...

Kenda over at Lurv ala Mode has posted a review of Late Eclipses, and says, "This series is an exceptional example of unique urban fantasy, with characters that grow more and more in depth with each installment. The plots for each book are twisted and complicated, enough so that interest is piqued and toe tip pressure never lessens since we’re constantly on them. The series isn’t complacent, as it ups the excitement and action and development overall with each book. And that, fellow readers, is how I like it." Yeah, that's a long pull quote, but it's an awesome review, and it waited a long time to be posted. So I'm sharing my enthusiasm.

Kristen at Fantasy Book Cafe has posted a review of Late Eclipses (and how is it that my early reviews are being linked so late this time? Uncool, blonde girl...), and says, "Late Eclipses had everything I’ve come to love about the October Daye series and then some since it exceeded my expectations. It’s a lot of fun with some very satisfying revelations and is the strongest installment in the series yet." Yay!

But what about the seeeeexy? Well, Rebecca at Dirty Sexy Books has posted a review of Late Eclipses, and says, "Is it too early to look forward to the next book in the October Daye series?" No. No, it is not.

calico_reaction provides our obligatory Livejournal review, and says, "This installment is my favorite to date, horribly difficult to put down. There's so many revelations in this book that really cast Toby and her purpose in a new light, and the cast is just delightful. I can't say more without gushing, so I'll shut up, and say that if you're an urban fantasy fan and you haven't at least read up to book three, An Artificial Night, you're missing out. And if you're already a fan, you definitely don't want to miss this one." Hooray! No, like, seriously, hooray.

Finally for this batch, SFRevu Review has posted a review of Late Eclipses, and says, "A great installment in a series that is becoming a must-read, Late Eclipses will satisfy even the most demanding urban fantasy reader."

On that short, sweet note, I conclude this review roundup and return to my word count for the evening. Catch you soon!

Thanks for the shout-out! I'm so excited to have this title as a signed copy!
I'm so pleased that it's the one you won!

Now, on to stressing about One Salt Sea...
Hey Seanan,
You're a singer and you have kitties, so you should totally fill in my totally scientific poll about singing to cats. If you have time.
Kthnxbai,

Alas I cannot! For it wants me to have an open ID thingie, and I don't have one of those. I have striped socks, though.
When you log in with openID, you use your LJ name and password.
I have answered, in the name of SCIENCE.
Thank you. It is important and drastically underfunded research.
I asked you about this on Twitter, and here is a link for you to the music file (which as far as I could find out was given out freely on their MySpace page): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2176934/NextWave.mp3
OMG YAY.
I've been trying for a couple years, off and on, to find out if this can be purchased, and how, because I'd give them money, but I can't!

(I know how you feel about compensation for creation, and I agree! I just... can't find a way to do it. It's sort of odd.)
Some things can't be paid for. In those cases, I don't get fussy.
Speaking of must reads, my athlete son talked me into sending (Amazon did the sending) your complete library. The athletes at the Olympic Training Center have a library, essentially a file cabinet. Take a book, donate a book. Whatever, no controls.

Except your work! For them, there is a signup sheet, you finish a book, you see to it the next person on the list gets it. Your work is the sign of cool out there today for the triathlon team. So, congrats, you are the flavor of the month in Colorado.

And I still say that group can out run the zombies! ;)
That = awesome. Thank you for letting me know!
