I love your book reviews--picked up the new Ilona Andrews book and the first page in--the first couple *sentences* in, I was hooked. There was a huge influx of paranormal authors at one time, and it was hard picking through the mediocre ones from the good, so I appreciate the rec.
And I agree that Patricia Briggs' spinoff is pretty "eh." It's the good kind of romantic gloop, but it's not nearly as tight and gripping as her Mercy series. I found myself skimming all the way through.
I liked Hammerfall, though I felt the ending was a bit too abruptly rewarding. It helped that I read a similar, worse desert culture/immortality book by Connie Willis at the same time, and merged Hammerfall over that to improve it.
