urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:seanan_mcguire The Journal of Seanan McGuire Seanan McGuire 2011-03-17T14:35:33Z urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:seanan_mcguire:334263 2011-03-17T14:35:33Z 2011-03-17T14:35:33Z Christian Kane, "Whiskey River." It's time to do another review roundup, as not only are my links getting out of control, I've started losing things in the mucky morass of twisty words, and that's not fun for anybody. Least of all, let's be honest here, me.<br /><br /><a href="http://travelsthroughiest.blogspot.com/2011/03/late-eclipses.html">Travels Through Iest</a> has posted a <i>Late Eclipses</i> review, and says, "<i>Late Eclipses</i> is another welcome addition to Toby's exploits." Also (and I like this part), "Seanan is proving to be somewhat of a literary chameleon with this series, so far she's written them in a noirish Chandleresque style, something reminiscent of Agatha Christie and now <i>Late Eclipses</i> which has elements of a Grisham type legal thriller." I'm a lizard that writes books! I win!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/reviewsbook/889241-421/sffantasy_march_15_2011.html.csp">Library Journal</a> has posted a review of <i>Late Eclipses</i>, and says, "Vibrant writing and a likable narrator make this one of the stronger entries in the urban fantasy genre. It should appeal to fans of Jim Butcher's 'Dresden Files.'" Cool. Now can you help me get Jim's sales numbers...? 'Cause that would be <i>keen</i>.<br /><br />Obligatory LJ review! <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="janicu" lj:user="janicu" ><a href="http://janicu.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /></a><a href="http://janicu.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>janicu</b></a></span> <a href="http://janicu.livejournal.com/139289.html">has posted a review of <i>Late Eclipses</i></a>, and says, "If you are an urban fantasy fan, you should read this, but don't stop at the first book, because the overarching storyline builds up as the books go along. It is rewarding to keep reading the series&mdash;if I think over what was revealed in this book, I become positively gleeful." Also, "To me, this series just gets better and better, and this is the best installment yet." Yay!<br /><br /><a href="http://scooper.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/review-late-eclipses-by-seanan-mcguire/">Scooper Speaks</a> has posted a review of <i>Late Eclipses</i>, and says, "Seanan McGuire's October Daye series is the bom-diggity-dog." Yeah...the review's good too, but I'm gonna stop there, because that is awesome.<br /><br />Finally for today, Julia at <a href="http://allthingsurbanfantasy.blogspot.com/2011/02/early-review-late-eclipses-by-seanan.html">All Things Urban Fantasy</a> has posted a review of <i>Late Eclipses</i>, and says, "Overall, Seanan McGuire has done a stellar job of developing her characters while interweaving action and suspense. As much as I enjoyed the romantic tension in <i>Late Eclipses</i>, it was the details about Toby's family, both blood relation and adopted, that truly touched me. The story as a whole has me on the edge of my seat for <i>One Salt Sea</i> in September, I am eager to find out how all this will play out." So am I!<br /><br />So that's all for today; I'm going to post a few more review roundups soon, just in an attempt to take back my notes file. Between this and the convention ribbon order, let's just say that it's a mess in there...<br /><br />Reviews!
