As a physical book, this one's seen some stuff. It's stamped with a Colorado used bookstore's address, was mailed from Nevada and is now in California. It has a few scuffs and creases, minor ink and water? coffee? stains. At least it isn't literally crumbling apart like some of my paperbacks from the same time period!

Exposition-heavy books like this take some getting used to, but I've come to truly appreciate them over the last few years. Many readers would scoff "show, don't tell" and reject it a few pages in. Their loss! There's been a blog post-like rant about that percolating in my head for a while now, but I get bored with myself whenever I start it. Some portion of it will make it into my review of this book, probably.

Seems to have vanished from the book publishing world after those came out, sadly. I wonder why the name rebranding happened.

I enjoyed Illusion back in the day, never picked up anything else by her.
Also true for me, until I started this one. :)
Whoa, Beth! You found Volsky! I'm always amazed when I see someone else reading her, she seems to be so forgotten now.
Hi, Marquise! I read Illusion almost exactly five years ago now, and have wanted to get back to her books ever since. My online reading group took a break this month, so it seemed like a great opportunity to take on a denser book that would take a bit longer to read.
