pbrayIt's that most wonderful time of year, as the first review is up. Harriet Klausner's review of The First Betrayal was posted on BN.COM. Ms. Klausner isn't known for her critical analysis, but she's almost always the first one to post a review for new books, so it's a bit like spotting the first robin of spring. You know the others can't be far behind.
I saw that the review exists, but haven't read it yet. I almost never read my reviews--or at least not until they've been pre-screened by a minion. Even a favorable review can drive me crazy if it gets details wrong, or reveals too much of the plot.
I'm wondering about the rest of the authors on my friends' list. Do you read reviews of your work or do you find them too aggravating?

jennifer_dunne read the review and assured me that it was favorable, but also gave away key plot points. Par for the course.
