Pros

Barbara hambly is a master of descriptive writing and suspense. Bride of the rat god is a well-written, absolutely fun, window on a world and a genre.

The supernatural is the supernatural and suitably frightening. The historical accuracy and the faithful depiction of human nature makes the mythology more effective than any i've read before. There are three pekinese heroes, chang ming, black jasmine,... Read More
