Gods and Pawns (Company) af Kage Baker

Baker really thrives in shorter pieces: she's vastly less likely to get cutesy with her material. At its best this series is very, very good. Exemplary work. At its worst its still pretty good.

The Empress of Mars (The Company) af Kage Baker

It tells the story of Gard, an orphaned half-demon, who escapes from slavery to marry a saint. I know. Spoilers. But they won’t spoil the fun because Baker has a droll sense of humor that emerges from the romance and adventure when you least expect it. Four stars.… (mere)
