    <body><![CDATA[I loved it.  This author does characters and character interactions so well that the plot almost seems unnecessary and interchangable.  I was hooked into the characters from the first few pages and it only got better from there.  I also thoroughly enjoyed the thread of wry humor that wound its way t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74904227">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had great hopes when the acknowledgements listed some authors who are beloved to me: Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, Sharon Shinn.  Aguirre writes nothing like them.<br/><br/>I found this unremarkable in style and a bit thinly strung together plot-wise.

    <body><![CDATA[ I kept hoping this book will become interesting, but the contrast with similarly themed and recently read excellent Principle of Angels was too great. Very shallow characters fail to support the many slow moments of this book. This series is done for me. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great new author, I'll be looking for her next new book.  I usually shy away from science fiction because it can be too bleak and two-dimensional for me.
