88. REDEMPTION IN INDIGO, BY KAREN LORDRecommended by Diego, who actually went as far as buying it and giving it to me, to make sure I would read it. His passion surely is commendable.

I'm seriously surprised at how much awesome Lord was able to pack into t...

The arch voice of the omniscient narrator just ended up irritating me, the book followed characters I felt no connection with at the expense of those I did, and the impossibly-gluttonous fat ma...
