I read this on my Kindle, having recently been republished. Not quite sure why it was part of a trilogy marketed as Regency Royal as only the first book was set in the Georgian period - this was much later (early 20th century) and none of the books were related to each other at all. Heroine in this one a bit silly, but still, MC Beaton always gives you a good read.

"I decided that a while back that The National are my favorite band. There are so many bands I love, but none of them connect with quite like The National. This is a fun tune off their latest record I Am Easy To Find. You should also check out the short film by the same name which is connected in a variety of interesting ways to the record."

"The Use Your Illusions were quite overproduced. You could see why Izzy Stradlin had a problem with them. He wanted to do the 16-track thing, and Axl Rose was having none of it. It's quite an emotional song. Axl Rose clearly had mental issues, and Yesterdays is one of those songs that captures that sadness. Anyone with issues related to childhood problems or trauma can connect with that."

Great cinematics that you get from all the movies in this franchise (0 more)
None of the original characters (but this is a spin-off so as long as you're aware of this then you should be good) (0 more)
Really Good!
Yet another brilliant movie from this franchise. As long as you don't go in expecting the original storyline to be carried on (as it's a spin-off) then you should love it!

I picked this one up during the summer for a holiday read, but have only just got around to reading it now.

And, I have to say, I was really impressed with it.

Telling the story of Tau Solarin, this probably falls somewhere between high fantasy (yes, there are dragons but no elves or dwarves or such like) and heroic fantasy (none of the characters are really what you would call conventional heroes!), but nor is it what I would call Dark fantasy (you can understand why they are doing what they are doing, with none of the characters really anti-heroes).

I'm looking forward to finding out more about the background, culture, beliefs and (in general) the world in future instalments: just what was The Cull, for instance, and why did the Omehi have to flee from it?

At that, how did the caste system come about? Will it be overthrown ... ?
