… I really enjoyed Darker Angels and I think it’s safe to say I’m hooked on The Black Sun’s Daughter. Jayné continues to be a delight; she’s no master strategist, but she has a lot of compassion, and she has more courage than she thinks she does. And to heck with the inner curmudgeon. By the end, this had become a “set the alarm early so you can read before work” kind of book, and I finished it with a smile on my face and maybe a few tears in my eyes.  Read the rest.
