Change Of Pace: A Rave Review Of Somebody Else's Sword And Sorcery

[dr_pretentious]

This week's installment in the Series Series is up at Black Gate. The short version: if you're part of Black Gate's usual constituency, James A. Moore's Seven Forges is just the book you want, and you should rush out in a buying frenzy. If you only ever check in at Black Gate to see what I'm up to there (Hi, Mom!), then you are probably not this book's ideal reader. I give it two thumbs up.

I might have to pick this up - sounds like the humanity of it all runs along a Guy Gavriel Kay line - one of my most favored authors in the world. Oh and as far as in the Kushiel series, the Terre d'Ange women have to do a ritual to Eisheth in order to "open their womb" and have children. So safe up until then, after you run the same risks as anyone in a world pretty much without birth control. I don't remember which book they explain it in.
