novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing

a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

I just finished reading Mercedes Lackey's The Gates of Sleep. A longtime fan, I had at one time headed the midwestern chapter of Queen's Own, her official fan club. I've loved Ms. Lackey's works since Arrows of the Queen, and Magic's Pawn, the very first fantasy book I've ever read. I am pleased to say that "Gates" is a harken back to those comfortable novels. This book is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, so yeah, we all know how it will end (though I wanted the prince to wake her with a kiss), and I felt a lot of the plot action happened in the last 1/4 of the book, I so enjoyed the character and the settings that I didn't mind the jerky pace of the book. I like finding a good book by an author I love. Sometimes with new author's there's the trepidation. Will I like this book? Will it measure up to the other stuff I'm reading? Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. Sometimes I'm apalled. With this book, I was comfy. I can't think of any greater pleasure then curling up with a good book and reading. |
