- Anna Erishkigal is an attorney who writes fantasy fiction under a pen-name so her colleagues don't question whether her legal pleadings are fantasy fiction as well. Much of law, it turns out, -is- fantasy fiction. Lawyers just prefer to call it 'zealously representing your client.'
.
Seeing the dark underbelly of life makes for some interesting fictional characters. The kind you either want to incarcerate, or run home and write about. In fiction, you can fudge facts without worrying too much about the truth. In legal pleadings, if your client lies to you, you look stupid in front of the judge.
.
At least in fiction, if a character becomes troublesome, you can always kill them off.

Once again, a captivating read. Just like life, when you think you've got it sussed, it laughs and and re-educates you. It's called growth and is essential in the battle against entropy.
These books not only allow you to escape into wonderful worlds and characters but shows how each of us can be good, bad, indifferent or any other of the infinite states of being.
Written with depth and feeling but most of all an enlightening experience.
A bit risky in places, but so is life.
Loved it.… (altro)

If anything, it is even better than book one. The plot thickens, motivating the characters to grow in ways you can't always forsee.
As a reader of hundreds of books in this genre, it is a definite Top shelf candidate.
Can't wait for next instalment.
Five stars again.

People be warned:
1. This book contains erotic "scenes"
2. Christians and Muslims may find this book a little offensive
SotG is basically what happens if God is really a scientist and angels are actually part of his lab experiments. Except that there's also a higher being who created the universe, complete with a balancing force and all like the Yin and the Yang. Now throw in all that sci-fi stuff from Star Trek where people travel in spaceships, Warp Space and all. And a stone age tribe that practices monogamy and knows all about arteries and veins. You get the idea. It's a little weird that despite the advancements in space travel and all, the rest of the technology is pretty much like what we have today.
I feel almost offended for William Harvey reading this book the first time. It's a little like Erishkigal's trying to warp time and culture around to suit to her believes so that she can illustrate a semi-knowledgeable healer mother and a picture-perfect culture and female heroine when in fact, the whole "true love" thing would mean so much more if they were in a polygamous society and Mikhail was the one who introduced the concept of a soul mate. No, really. I actually got rather annoyed. And the book could also use a good editing and some condensing. There's just too much fluff in here.
But this book has promise to be a lot better, so I'm going to give this 3.5 stars and see what comes of it later.… (altro)
