@theonceler And the Red Queen's War, its side-quel? With events running parallel to the Prince of Thorn's events, but with a different focus and characters. Equally amazing, and the lead character was so much fun.

Yeah, its pretty great. I picked the first one up on a fluke and couldn't put it down until I finished the whole series. He writes very believable characters who are complex and interesting, even the ones I don't like. I think Inevera is one of my favorite characters in a long time.

It was also implied/suggested that demons weren't really supernatural so much as life that evolved down in the chambers nearer to the Core, so over however long it took they were just completely suffused with magic, as that was their natural environment. That sorta makes the Core neutral and, while certainly evil, demons (at least those not of the Mind Court) are just critters.

Its just more interesting to me that the Core isn't like "hell".

Famous Artwork: Choose a famous painting and write about it.

When I see his face on the canvas, I know: there is no change. We did not speak every day before. We do not speak every day now. I thought of him in fleeting moments before. I do the same now, as the mood strikes. The light plays across the oil to set his eyes sparking, just as the light did across his face. There is no difference in the end. I thought there would be. When I caught him in the painting, it was to hold him to me forever. I was certain our love would stand the test of time, that having his image would help to cement what lay between us. But no, now he is only a silently screaming wraith trapped in fabric and I am left wondering if my new neighbor is thinking of me as I think of him. Perhaps true love will blossom there? So many have failed me, but this time... this time it will be better. I know it.

Ah, okay. That I can definitely understand. The structure of the storytelling did catch me a bit, and when reading in one go what someone put out week after week as small blasts of the story did lead to some issues for me too. I just really dig the atmosphere and setting, like the main heroine and the supporting characters are compelling to me. I don't think it's all perfect, but I really enjoyed what I've read so far (there's a lot of it).

I also liked her stand alone 'Frozen'

I'm sad that this isn't an erotic novel about Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
