Thankfully, Serapio and Xiala get a lot of page time in Black Sun, though not as much in Fevered Star. I sympathized with Naranpa, but found Okoa’s chapters a bit of a weak link. Serapio and Xiala are both fascinating and I loved reading their chapters. There are assassin priests, non-binary and queer characters, and a nice dose of various kinds of magic. I really liked the world that’s created and most of the characters. Since this was just released a month ago, however, I’m going to have to wait. But it’s clear the gods aren’t done yet with the people of Meridian and the people have their own plans as well. It definitely left me impatient for the next book. There’s the usual second book issue of feeling like it was really setting up even bigger things while leaving them for the next installment. I can’t talk too much about the plot for Fevered Star without giving away major plot points for Black Sun, so suffice it to say that Roanhouse delivers a solid sequel that gives us more insight into the world she created.

With characters representing both successful professionals and blue collar workers, readers will find a character they can connect with. What’s Better Then This? is written in a voice that is accessible with moments of the profound. It’s the anti Sunshine from the same time frame. It is Erich Segal’s Love Story for middle aged baby boomers, the folks who saw the original movie and still buy books to talk about in their book clubs.

Soon after Billy Griffiths joins his first archaeological dig as camp manager and cook, he is hooked. But the first Australians were voyaging into the unknown. A dense cloud of migrating birds may have pointed the way. Smoke billowing above the sea spoke of a land that lay beyond the horizon. People would have known about Australia before they saw it. The truth is startlingly different in most cases. Many of the husbands are nothing like the person they had described to their new brides much like the short, fat and bald men on an online dating service, the men sell themselves to their brides as tall, imposing and good-looking. They are the original "mail order brides". They are headed to California, to marry men they have never met. The Japanese Picture Brides arrive in America by boat.
