She is best known for the Original Sinners series of erotica and she has won the RITA Award and a Lambda Literary Award. With the wraiths, I’m inwardly groaning right now, it starts as an interesting turn of events but then falls into only causing more drama and Bianca whining over ridiculous things. When Balthazar’s sister came into play, it felt like it was a waste of time considering his sister has become “evil” by getting involved with the wrong crowd, alerting Lucas’s vampire hunter squad. What I find terribly depressing about this story is the fact that the author presents this possibly fantastic new element to the story involving wraiths and Balthazar’s sister only to shove it to the back burner the majority of the time. Sum up: Bianca, (born vampire) and Lucas (vampire hunter) = “Star-Crossed Lovers”. We go back to complicated dramatic love story of Bianca and Lucas. While there may have been new twists added to the story, unfortunately, I still rolled my eyes more times than I can count. I finally picked it up again last week and finished it last weekend. I started this book back in June, but stopped to read other books on my list which called my attention. I began the Evernight series earlier this year. In this book Mozambique’s first published female novelist (you read that right) weaves the story of Rami, wife to Tony and mother to several children. I love fiction that takes me to a place I don’t know and drops me into the thick of things, and The First Wife is a delicious example. In this brilliantly funny and feverishly scathing critique, a major work from Mozambique’s first published female novelist, Paulina Chiziane explores her country’s traditional culture, its values and hypocrisy, and the subjection of women the world over. After Tony is forced to marry the four other women–as well as an additional lover–according to polygamist custom, the rival lovers join together to declare their voices and demand their rights. Rami remains calm in the face of her husband’s duplicity and plots to make an honest man out of him. Tony, a senior police officer in Maputo, has apparently been supporting four other families for many years. After twenty years of marriage, Rami discovers that her husband has been living a double–or rather, a quintuple–life. Royal Flash is the second in the Flashman Papers, one of my favorite series of historical novels. It’s just that, Fraser does it on purpose in Royal Flash. Both of them are littered with references to entertainments of a certain period, and both of them feature asshole protagonists with really, really uncomfortable attitudes towards women. The funny thing is, if you have a couple of beers and squint, the two books are kind of similar.
