(And then it turns out it's not Saturn's fault -- just the author's.) Hilarious and heartbreaking at once, it's the craziest thing I've read in ages. (Seriously, if you pick up the book, the sheer physical presentation of it will intrigue you enough that you won't put it down.)Middentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829095129849712488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-23437843642534914962007-03-30T20:45:00.000-04:002007-03-30T20:45:00.000-04:00Oh, I also want to mention a trilogy that I LOVED!...Oh, I also want to mention a trilogy that I LOVED!

I love amazing characterizations mixed with a great, fast-paced plot, but I jut know I'm going to come up with so much gay subtext between the two main characters. ^_~ I'm in gay romance withdrawal because there simply isn't enough out there yet! I'll try to restrain myself from writing crazy fan letters to Thurman about this when I get his books, though. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-85290576592440697452007-03-30T11:34:00.000-04:002007-03-30T11:34:00.000-04:00HiThe last book i loved is actually a trilogy, by ...Hi<BR/><BR/>The last book i loved is actually a trilogy, by Robin Hobb , it's the Royal Assassin trilogy.
