She makes scandalous liaisons with inappropriate men, and if in her youth she was a famous beauty, now she is both formidable--and notorious. She is a forensic sorceress, and a dedicated officer of a Crown that does not deserve her loyalty. She has nothing, but obligations. Sebastien de Ulloa is the oldest creature she has ever known. He was no longer young at the Christian millennium, and that was nine hundred years ago. He has forgotten his birth-name, his birth-place, and even the year in which he was born, if he ever knew it. But he still remembers the woman who made him immortal. He has everything, but a reason to live. In a world where the sun never set on the British Empire, where Holland finally ceded New Amsterdam to the English only during the Napoleonic wars, and where the expansion of the American colonies was halted by the war magic of the Iroquois, they are exiles in the new world--and its only hope for justice. 2443812 2007 New Amsterdam total:141|5:27|4:57|3:41|2:12|1:4| 141 514 337 37 0 0 false false Mon Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 16:09:43 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 08:42:44 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Mon Mar 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 18:47:05 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 18:49:54 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Jun 08 21:15:11 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 21:18:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 3 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 17:52:26 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 17:52:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Thu Dec 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 04 20:03:51 -0800 2008 Thu Jun 11 19:43:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 17 16:15:39 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 05:38:47 -0700 2008 1 She's a detective-mage with a sense of duty that could crack iron.

Very interesting read, very entertaining and engaging characters, and I loved the writing style. I don't know, but it seems to have been written as a series of stories in an monthly magazine.

As this is a collection of short stories, in chronological order, having to do with the same characters, it was very easy to put down and pick back up again in between "chapters".

On further thought, I probably would have enjoyed these stories more if I had read them like in a magazine, with time in between, and not all at once.]]> 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 05:38:40 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 14:45:23 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 06:44:27 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 06:46:57 -0800 2008 4 1 false true Thu Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 15:41:46 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 19:48:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 07:56:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 10:10:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 20 15:15:14 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 15:15:14 -0700 2009 4 1 false false Fri Feb 27 11:42:23 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 11:42:37 -0800 2009 Full review at my blog!]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 06:15:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 05:08:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 13:29:01 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 20:21:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 18:58:22 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 18:59:55 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=185636
