A great short story. I read it when I had almost finished Livid Skies. It was interesting to see events that I'd recently read from Georgie's perspective, told from Katya's side.

Robin@books.babb.no reviewed Devon's Island by Si Clarke
very geeky, very good
5 stars
As the author says, this is a very niche book. There's a lot of science (and there are notes about the science at the back), but if you're a geek, you'll probably love it.
Personally, I really appreciated and liked the representation of the autistic character Devon. It was sympathetic and most of all, it felt right.

The Unveiled Lady
No rating
I was surprised that the blurb said this one only featured Peggy and Baz. I thought it odd that those two were left alone, but the explanation makes sense.
The characters work well together in the story, and it was good to see a little more of Peggy's family and background. Overall, it's a fun short story that fits with the canon.
A great addition to the series
5 stars
I really like the concept of this series, and this book delivers. The characters are all interesting, but very different, and I feel like I'm starting to get to know the Aunties better, especially Baz.
The idea that drag queens are targeted for violence is all too realistic, and there are some very unpleasant individuals, but the author manages to keep the tone light.
As a fan of both Douglas Adams and Dharma Kelleher, the references to them made me smile :)
