Finished The Goblin Emperor this weekend. So.Very.Good.
Going back into the thread to see what you guys said before.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Epic, DH is reading it now and he's all "STATECRAFT" and So many names. He's loving it.

Totally! It was so not what I was expecting from the blurb but it was a great surprise how GOOD he was at the job so quickly! And the story's just so INTERESTING. Though the names were at times a bit much - so much flipping back to the notes in the back! And I agreed with what both of you said you'd have liked to see more of, with the addition - I'd love to watch as his relationship with the kids continues to grow. He finally got a family! But he's accidentally sort of the patriarch! But he and Idra were bonding! And the girls just adored him! Good stuff!

Oh, and a certain gothy type with goals of becoming Vampire Witch Queen wrote the foreword for the new edition.

Thanks for that, Jilli. I'd never heard of it and I'm really glad to have read it now.
Nice job on the foreword, too. Those seem tricky and yours is a good one.
