I had yesterday off, but for once I spent it totally dead. I barely even checked LJ, and I don't remember any of the entries I read, so sorry if I missed something (I've already checked that
artaxastra has two chapters of Napoleonic goodness I've yet to read). Hopefully I'm not coming down with anything :S
I'm reading the Coldfire trilogy - I'm three-quarters of the way into the first book and Tarrant is cool. Then again, I expected to like him. I tend to go this way with the über-vamps.

Date: 2006-02-09 12:36 am (UTC)Based on your and other recommendations, I ordered the trilogy without checking out anything more, and it's been a good move. I'm just past Senzei's death in Black Sun Rising, and damn if Friedman doesn't know how to write it where it hurts.
(Also, Tarrant and Vryce are far too much like my Dracula and Van Helsing not to like, though it may colour my perception of the relationship somewhat...)

yep.......
