Kara Dalkey, Goa
Tor (1996) ISBN: 0-312-86000-5
Score: 1.5

First part of the Blood of the Goddess trilogy, set in the Portuguese colony of Goa in India. I'm not fond of religion in general, so having two of the POV characters part of the Inquisition didn't appeal, even if it seems likely they'll come face-to-face with a provably real goddess. Not a bad book, but not remarkable either.

What other Dalkey have you read? I'm curious about The Nightingale since it is in the Fairy Tale series.

What other Dalkey have you read?

I've read one other novel by her, I think the title was Curse of Sagamore. Again, unremarkable. Did she write any Liavek stories? If so, I've read those too.

the Fairy Tale series.

The only book I've read from that series is Brust's, which I like a lot, but I only read it because it was by Brust. I'm not much interested in fairy tales.

Yes, she wrote some Liavek stories.

I guess I'm generally not into fairy tales, but mostly because they're too short. So an actual novel could be quite good. I'm curious about the Fairy Tale series because I loved loved loved Pamela Dean's Tam Lin. And Brust's was ok.
