Publisher's Weekly review of The Final Sacrifice

[pbray]

THE FINAL SACRIFICE was reviewed in the 5/19 edition of Publisher's Weekly. To my knowledge this is the first book in the series they've reviewed.

Though billed as the closer to a trilogy (following 2007's The Sea Change), this low-key climax to the chronicles of scholarly monk Josan and reluctant Ikarian Emperor Lucius stands surprisingly well on its own...Amiable storytelling and brisk pacing make this an agreeable summer read.

Cool!

Isn't it? I'm especially pleased that they think the book can stand on its own, which is always a question when it comes to trilogies.

Cool! Congratulations! *Heh* Don't you love all the ways they can hem and haw around trying to say "It's a good book, you should read it?" :-D

The waffling always cracks me up.

[wishweaver.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yeah. I notice they don't tend to be as hesitant when they think it's bad. :-p

I have to say, I love the phrase "Amiable storytelling..." Does this mean there is such a thing as "Hostile storytelling"? Or shall we go with "unfriendly storytelling"....perhaps even "grumpy storytelling"?

I'm sure I've read grumpy storytelling books :-)
