There is a sequel called Stiletto. I haven't read it yet, but I believe that Kat and/or Pix have. Told from the POV of the villains IIRC. (Not relevant, but, I met the author, completely adorkable.)
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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."

Sounds interesting.
I have started reading The Huntsmen
on the Storm and Ash website. It's a supernatural story set in Victorian England involving a family called the Graysons, who, alas, are not 19th century British acrobats but so far I am enjoying it. (There are six parts out now.)
Sorry -it's the Greysons not the Graysons.

The status is NOT quo.
People, The Strenge Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss is awesome, and you should all go read it. Jilli, I think it's especially up your alley. [link]

I definitely will need to read that.
Y'all, The Three-Body Problem series is so good! I don't even want to say anything about it other than that. Kinda reminds me of Olaf Stapledon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have the third one in my TBR pile!

It's not often that fiction makes me feel like I need a hot shower to scrub away the grime from reading it, but a friend of mine gave me a stack of 90s - 2000s small press horror and alterative fiction magazines for the next run of Eldergoth Surprise Boxes, and eeeugh. Half of them were full of bad "edgy" horror porn; the worst sort of examples of splatterpunk and writing to be shocking.
I know he bought them as research into markets that were buying short horror fiction, but they're just ... gross
