Thanks for the review. I've been wanting to read a new author in sf/f, with "slash" leanings (as in: the world described and the characters aren't all annoyingly heterosexual). The first book seems to be on special at a bookstore, so I'll try to buy it on monday.

It may be worth noting that Monette has something of a fandom background, and her LJ is truepenny.

Thanks! I vaguely knew that, but it's good to be reminded.

I've just read these two books and loved them. I was wondering if you ever read anything similar (a good fantasy story with a gay theme). The only thing they remind me of is Kirby Crow's "Scarlet and the White Wolf" (3 books).

Nothing comes to mind offhand, though you might try Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunners trilogy -- likeable fantasy with gay themes, though not as creative or gripping as Monette's. I would also suggest looking up the books at LibraryThing and seeing if there are other similarly tagged books -- that can be an interesting way to find related books!

Thank you! I've discovered that LibraryThing is indeed quite useful and I've already starded reading the Nightrunners trilogy and it seems quite interesting :)
