A late night...
18 years ago
And why, you ask, would I still be up when I have to be awake for work in four hours?
Volle arrived today. I read it in one sitting, and liked it. I would have done the same even if I didn't like it, really.
As enjoyable a read as it was, I was persuaded into thinking for a while that I can enjoy things like political intrigue and espionage. There are pages and pages of things that go on in the day-to-day life of a spy stationed in a position of high standing within a palace. There are also numerous sex scenes.
I think the worst thing about the book was how my connection to the supporting characters (especially sexual and/or love interests of the main character) lessened over time. I still liked Helfer and Tish at the end, but for some reason I stopped liking Richy as much, as well as Arrin. Xiller's reputation, however, was still completely untarnished by the end. As for Volle...I like him, but I don't identify with him on a purely personal level. That is to say, I don't have much in common with him or his personality, but he's a very likable character.
As for the smut, well, it's good at times, but the author was accurate at attaining his goal of making the steamy parts only a partial distraction from the storyline. I should really learn that, myself, though I may always favor making my erotic scenes as enticing and...inspiring as I can. I just dislike the idea of the erotic being the main focus in anything I write, is all. As for Volle, there is definitely an intriguing storyline to follow.
I'll be trying to fit the next book, Pendant of Fortune, soon. I also want to get my hands on The Prisoner's Release. I'm also expecting the first FANG volume to arrive soon. A friend has the copies of the first two volumes I originally got, and I'm thinking the new pocket versions will make great gifts for another person I'm close to. Right after I read them through at least one more time, that is. Does that count as regifting? Ah well...not like I could stop myself when I have an actual book filled with furry stories right there in front of me.
