Maybe I need to give Amelia another try, but I bounced pretty hard off the two I tried; between what I saw as Amelia's unexamined twentieth century beliefs and then, later, her son's unbelievable precocity, I was one unhappy reader.Bookwyrmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206423697706457318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122786989853029411.post-15075861729183342252011-02-09T09:50:04.187-08:002011-02-09T09:50:04.187-08:00I read the first one ages ago.

Her other books sound equally cool and intriguing.<br /><br />P.S. I have to stand up for Amelia -- one of the reasons I like the series so much is that although some of the other characters (NEFRET) are super-duper-modern, Amelia is believably Victorian to me. She's independent, but not insanely so, and you often see the prejudices that she has because of the time period she lives in.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122786989853029411.post-15374435572422244592011-02-08T11:14:44.362-08:002011-02-08T11:14:44.362-08:00There's such an overload of vampire books on t...There's such an overload of vampire books on the shelves these days that I pretty much automatically avoid them.<br /><br />This series, though, started before the glut.Bookwyrmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206423697706457318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122786989853029411.post-16879758988801536802011-02-08T11:12:00.322-08:002011-02-08T11:12:00.322-08:00Oh, this does sound good!

I haven't read many books at all featuring vampires but really couldn't put Those Who Hunt the Night Down. I'll have to look for the other two, now.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.com
