Review:
I recced this series at crack_van and everything I said about it then holds true:
This may be my favorite TS series. Jim and Blair find that a Sentinel really can't survive long term in a major city and move to a small town in rural Washington. The premise is intriguing and well thought out, the stories are quiet (at least for The Sentinal fandom, which tends towards the melodramatic) and beautifully written, and the plots explore an aspect of Jim and Blair's relationship that I think the show seriously short-changed: how do two people learn to live together for years, especially when one is a Sentinel? Add in a bevy of interesting and well developed OCs (Miss Lillian is my hero), hurt/comfort and angst galore, and a thought-provoking examination of Sentinels, Guides, and relationships in general, and you have the must-read series of the fandom.
