Just when you thought you’d seen all the permutations you possible could in the Dark Urban Fantasy genre along comes something fresh.
Power and Majesty by Tansy Rayner Roberts.
Of course I am biased. I read Tansy’s book in draft form before it was published as part of a ROR writers retreat. And I’ve been hanging out for the next instalment ever since.
She takes the decadence and frivolity of Ancient Rome, combines it with the Roaring Twenties, Sky Battles and Seriously Sexy Shape-shifters. Impossible you say?
But don’t listen to me. See here and here for what the reviewers are saying.
And if that doesn’t convince you, go here for a podcast reading.
And the best thing is that we RORees are on a countdown for another ROR right before World Con in September, so I get to read book two of the Creature Court!
