First of all, thank you to those of you who commented on my query. You’re input was fantastic and valuable and exactly what I needed. I wanted to comment on the blog itself, but apparently, due to some ironic sense of humor from my diety, I can’t comment on my own blog right now 😛

I’ve been reading for about two days straight. A couple of months ago, the first book in the Richelle Mead Succubus series was on sale for Kindle, so I picked it up. It was good. I was sucked in and enjoyed the story and was pleased that I’d finally found a book/voice/setting similar to the world I created (without being too similar).

And it took me a little while to move on to Book 2, but I did eventually. And then I moved on to Book 3, and I didn’t really have much of a chance to read it, until this weekend. I hit the halfway mark and either the series hit it’s stride or I did. Since Sunday, I’ve read the second half of Book 3 (possibly Succubus Dreams), and books 4, 5, & 6. (I’m a fast reader, and I was very pleased for that).

So, go read the books if you want urban fantasy that’s a little outside the normal tropes. I give them a solid 4 out of 5 stars. And for the record, it’s the only series I’ve read more than a book or so of in a long time.

As for me, now I’m going to analyze the books deeper. They’ve got so many similar elements to my world, and I’m going to take a closer look at why it worked and how the author kept it all from being confusing. I’m fascinated by this concept and I think I have a base understanding of how she did it, but now my analytical mind wants to know more.

That and I should probably finish getting ready for the holidays…maybe…we’ll see 😉

What are y’all up to?
