happy reviewed author is happy

I generally don't point at reviews of my books, even the good ones, unless it's one where I personally asked the reviewer to look at the book. But every so often there is a review that makes an author think, "Yes! They got what I was trying to do! It worked!" And Jenre has just posted such a review of Lord and Master.

Go and pre-order this book

And on the subject of reviews, I will be writing one over the weekend for Jade Man's Skin by my friend Daniel Fox. Now, he is indeed my friend, but it is not just my personal bias showing when I say that this ARC was breathtaking, in concepts, in story and in prose.

It's the second volume of three in a mediaeval Chinese inspired fantasy, and you can read my burblings about the first volume, Dragon In Chains, here. The second volume is every bit as good. It's officially out in February, but is already available for pre-order on Amazon US and Amazon UK, and doubtless other places as well.
