          <body><![CDATA[I thought the colored jewels was an effective touch. Sorry about the horror stuff though. I think it gets more horrory in The Book of the Beast, but less so in books 3 and 4. If you appreciate well-imagined monsters then you should like Beast. What I like about this series is the vaguely connected stories that make Paradys. Beast is less that way, Dead is very many small stories, and Mad is somewhere in the middle, being three or so stories taking place at different times, told in segments. Kinda like Winterson I guess. But I think you got a good taste of what Tanith's dark fantasy is like--freaky, lusty, enchanting, and lusty. All the stuff you liked and didn't like, expect more of it all. (I hope you continue because I want to bring you down with me into whatever madness she's created.)]]></body>

Exciting as that is, that's the book's strongest aspect. The story is simple and not lacking anything, but not spectacular.
