sarahf has done an analysis of the power dynamics in The Syndicate and tied it into some of the things going on in romance novels in general. Obviously I have a rather large bias here, but I think it's an interesting analysis with some useful things to say, and worth the attention of a few people on my flist:

Heh, that blog is on my google reader and when I saw that I was like heyyyy, that author's on my Flist. :) And also, that book looks like something I might enjoy. :)

And FYI, on the Syndicate print page they link to, the links to the ebook versions of parts one and two link to the wrong pages.

Okay, whew, not my links. Can't do anything to help you there!

Nope, your page was well put together as usual. I figured Jules would get a faster response from Loose Id than a random note from me. ;)

I've checked what the links should be, and emailed the Loose Id webmistress -- thanks for that. :-)

NP. :)

And thank you. I've got to go back and clarify a few things, re: Laura's response, but she and I read so differently and read such different books that I still think my points are really valid--certainly for my reading experience!
