Review: A Caress of Twilight
Posted by Shannon C. on March 17th, 2006 filed in D reviews, book reviewsI have no idea how I got through this book, except for the fact that it was only on 9 sides, which translates to 3 Library of Congress tapes. The book’s prequel, A Kiss of Shadows was 12 sides, so I think I was pleased at the book taking a third as long to read.
The thing about this second book is that I don’t have a whole lot new to snark about. I was just a giant pile of apathy as I read. And in some ways that’s a lot worse for me than hating a book outright. At least if I hated the book, that’s a strong emotion to associate with it. But I just mainly wanted to finish this book so I could move on to the next thing in my reading queue.
Next up: A couple of books by Gary K. Wolf, spoofs on hard-boiled detective novels, Who Censored Roger Rabbit? and Who P-p-plugged Roger Rabbit? which should be really quick and hopefully amusing reads. After which, I plan on reading Jane Yolen’s Sister Light, Sister Dark and White Jenna which I’ve heard nothing about, except that I’ve enjoyed what few of Yolen’s short fiction I’ve read. Plus, I saw nothing in the book descriptions about a Harem of Hotness or the presence of any cute talking animals. Which doesn’t mean they aren’t there, but I have hopes.
