Though erotic fluff, this series is really good for what it is. Danger alternates with eroticism in ever more gripping spirals. There is no real ending to these books...they always point to the next book as it is all one story. Each book always leaves me looking forward to the next one. Just am I was wondering if Merry could survive the Unseelie court, as I leave this book, I am breathlessly wondering if she can survive the Seelie court (or more to the point, who of her coterie of likeable characters may not survive.)
I think the last four books of this series took less than a month in 'verse time. So, when I come back to it the next book, it will probably be only minutes after this book ended.
TR is drawing close to finishing The Illearth War by Stephen Donaldson (second book in the first Chronicles of Thomas Covenant) and is now starting to get into it. He likes war scenes better than I do. He asked if I'd found the first book boring and I said, no, I did not. I will stop pushing him to read The Clan of the Cave Bear series, though. I'm sure he will find it boring. If there is no war or horror (only people interacting with each other and learning) he is bored.... MEN!
