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.

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.

I have a book crush on Zale.
They're pretty great.
I decided to reread Swordheart, very enjoyable. I think I was wrong in thinking there was a biggish time gap in these stories, probably I was confused by the long time since the sorceror-smith created the swords. Maybe it was a matter of me feeling like I had to wait too long for the next one although objectively it can't have been that long a time.
