Kinda blows the imagination sky high, which is what I like about Liu in general.<br/><br/>I'm loving the Dirk and Steele books for the way they nod to mythology and give me a grown-up fairy tale to lo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2610941">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm becoming a big fan of Marjorie M. Liu. This is the second Dirk and Steele novel I've read. The first was <em>Soul Song</em>, number six in the series, and I was pleased both to see that several of the secondary characters in that novel appear in this novel as well and that said secondary characters seem ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53943000">more...</a>]]></body>
