Books I Read This Week

Books I've read in the last week include:

Broken Prey by John Sanford. This is maybe his best so far in the Prey series. I loved it.

The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure (Wraeththu Histories: Book 1) and The Shades of Time and Memory (Wraeththu Histories: Book 2) by Storm Constantine. After several years away from the original Wraeththu
trilogy, Storm fills in some gaps from the first three books, delves deeper into relationships (and introduces a few new ones), and explores some higher powers and their interest in the world. I can't wait for the final book in the Histories: The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence. It comes out in the U.S. in June. It's already out in the UK. I think that's just unfair!

I'm currently reading Jenna Starborn by Sharon Shinn. I love her work. This one begins with possibly the best first sentence I've read in awhile:

You would think that if someone commissioned your conception, paid for your gestation, and claimed you immediately after your harvesting, she would love you with her whole heart; but you would be wrong."

You know immediately that this person has lived a very interesting life, has suffered for things beyond her control, and has a definite opinion about what has happened to her. I can't wait to get on BART and keep reading!
