This is a GREAT book. I have recommended it to dozens of people. Ironically, I live at the eastern edge of the Comancheria, just off Quanah Hill Rd.

About to start this one. I read the first, and although a very neat mix of creative ideas for the future, the 80's I grew up in was not the 80's in that book. Everything did not center on those godawful movies like Pretty in Pink and such. In fact, I hated what became to be known as 80's music and the whole Member's Only jacket bullies.
I hope this book is at least as entertaining as the first, and hopefully I don't have to listen to a bunch of 80's music to "get" some of the references.

Kushiels Avatar by Jacqueline Carey

I’ve read Kushiels Dart... racey, but like just slightly racey. It needed more descriptive perversions if she wanted it to be really interesting. More detail went into the violence.
