What an AMAZING BOOK!!! Full review to come.

This is probably 4.5 stars. I liked it better than the first book. The drama surrounded Napoleon, so there was a lot at stake. The main characters became more endearing as well. I am definitely going to read the third when it comes out.

Glamour in Glass is a worthy successor to Shades of Milkand Honey, and in fact perhaps surpasses it for demonstrating the heroine's cleverness and quick thinking, despite the restraints and her Regency world (somewhat relaxed, because much of this...

I am really getting a kick out of Kowal's alternate-Regency series. This book had quite a bit more action than its predecessor, and I enjoyed the larger view that it allowed in removing the protagonists from the genteel English countryside. Glamou...

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
