I feel like I figured some of the timeline out at some point but I don't remember how or why.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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."

The description of the city on the shore with the Sealords and no government seemed to be some not-very-disguised political commentary. Well done for all that.
I am almost finished but started nodding off last night just at the point where they were going into the coliseum to rescue the nuns.

Agreed on the political commentary. Specific and yet will not, I suspect, seem dated if we can ever get past that particular political unreasonableness irl
I really like the Temple of the White Rat. All the religions are interesting but that one I kinda wish we had in our world.

I do like the White Rat - they're very practical people and don't seem to be wound up in dogma (would it be rat-ma for them?).

Katherine Addison has a new ... novella, I think ... set in a new world. Something about having angels, both heavenly and fallen, plus some other supernatural creatures existing in a 19th Century world. It opens being narrated by Dr. J.H. Watson, injured in the Afghan war and sent home to England .... (I believe Jack the Ripper is in there as well)

Yes. I got it after reading some of the preview.

Same
My DH turned me on to T. Kingfisher, but I'm so not surprised that Buffistas like her.

The Temple of the White Rat could do a lot of good in this world, I admit.
