Publishers Weekly Jabs LKH.

[cryice.livejournal.com]

I was browsing Barnes and Nobel today and came across an author that sounded reasonably interesting.  After reading the back I looked to see what some of the reviews were like and came across this gem ...

"Liu's screenplay worthy dialogue, vivid action and gift for the punchy, unexpected metaphor rockets her tale high above the pack. Readers of early Laurell K Hamilton ... and catch a rising star." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

If that isn't a professional jab  that her writing (I use the term loosely) has gone south, I don't know what is. I ended up buying this book because of that review.

ETA: The book is Shadow Touch  by  Marjorie M Liu

lol that wouldn't be such a bad idea, only I got started on LKH because of a reading circle.

it was my dad's fault I got into the series actually.... He was buying mom a mom's day gift and picked up Obsidian Butterfly..cause mom likes vampire stories. Then mom cursed him out cause it was book 9 and now she HAD to get books 1-8. We're those people who HAVE to read books in order. Then I read them from mom, haha.
