I've been looking forward to the arrival of this book since I finished Allies over the summer. Honestly, Allies tore me up, and I wasn't able to even re-read the thing, which is my habit to do before embarking upon the newest book in the series, to ensure that I don't forget anything important. Certainly, Allies wasn't a BAD book by any means. It was actually a very GOOD book... and in truth, it was too good, because it ensnared me emotionally right from the first chapter.
I don't think I have been so emotionally involved in a novel since my last re-read of Little Women a few years back. And I'll say that it inspired some of my best writing to date.
Christie Golden writes a good book. What more can be said?
I really hope this is the case with Vortex. I hope Denning successfully picks up where Golden left off and, as much as I hated it, I hope I'm as drawn in by his writing as I was by Golden's. If Denning manages to do half as well as he did with Star by Star (which still makes me cry), then I think I shall be very pleased indeed.
I apologise for the geekiness of this post, but it really can't be helped. *sheepish grin*
I do promise, however, that normal programming will return after Vortex has been read, digested, and commented upon.
Until such time, May the Force be with you! ;)
