Raven’s Children: Shadow of the Snow Fox Part One

I already reviewed most of these issues separately (though in my usual rambling, barely-even-mention-what-the-plot-is kind of way), so I’m not going to get into too many specifics here. You already know that I like this series and, as this was the first time that I’ve sat down and read a chunk of them in a row, I have to say that I was impressed. It was obvious from the beginning that she had things planned well in advance, so it wasn’t that shocking to see how well little things fit together, or how throw-away lines were actually completely thought out and planned (the appendix to this book is a tremendous help, but not essential if you’re just looking for the surface story). What really surprised me is that while the art, and especially the lettering, got substantially better as the book went along, the actual writing was never less than stellar. It’s 1/21/04 as I’m writing this, meaning that the second book is probably either out or about to come out, so that means you can get a huge chunk all at once. This is something I’m going to have to pay closer attention to, as I’ve just discovered that the rewards are greater if you read it all in a row. It’s $14.95 and you can get it on her website.� Seriously, it’s worth a look.
