No surprise, but there's no smooth sailing in Angélique's world and after a battle or two at sea and a shipwreck, she's captured and sold as a slave to the highest bidder - the notorious pirate Rescator. Despite the heavy police guard placed on her by the express command of Louis XIV, Angélique slips away, and her feminine charms come in quite handy when she needs to wheedle her way onto one of the King's vessels heading for Crete. At the end of book two, Angelique learned that her supposedly dead husband might not be so dead after all, and she's willing to risk everything, including the King's wrath to find him. Hah! This is the third book in a long series, and this review will be rather brief to avoid spoiling events from the prior novels, Angelique (Book 1) and Angélique and the King (Book 2). With you, it's always something important-you're about to be murdered, or else commit suicide, or perhaps you've decided to involve the Royal Family in some fiendish scandal, or disobey the Pope." Nothing would make you bother the police for a joke.

Machado’s stories, appearing in such magazines as Lightspeed, Strange Horizons, Guernica, Gulf Coast, Granta, and Tin House, had blown readers away. Of course, overnight acclaim is not really sudden. On Saturday afternoon Machado would take part in both a reading by the fiction honorees and a panel on writing and identity. After the November 15th National Book Foundation’s awards ceremony in New York, all of the winners and finalists in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and young people’s literature came to Miami for a Friday evening celebration at the Book Fair.

Carmen Maria Machado came to the Miami Book Fair last November surrounded by the buzz of the book world. I was so worried too.after she wrote the adult novels Insatiable and Overbite, which were mediocre at best, I thought she had lost her touch. Once again she has produced a favorite series of mine. I see the old Meg Cabot in her writing, and I love John and Pierce’s relationship. I can’t tell you how happy I am that I continued reading. The bones were there, she just needed to fill it out. I immediately bought Abandon, and while it was okay (it could be dry at times) I knew there was so much potential for the rest of the series. I was so happy to find this series and see that she had added some more stories to her long list of awesomeness. Jump twelve years later to 2013 and I still think about her fun, witty writing and why I loved the books so much. I would wait forever for her books to come in and I would read them to the point of exhaustion. Once upon a time I read literally everything, and I do mean everything, Meg Cabot wrote. Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. |
