I'm not loving Morgan's sequel "The Cold Commands" as much. It's much more mopey, less tension. Suffers from second in a trilogy slump.

I also gave 5 stars to Peter Heller's "The Dog Stars" and Connie Willis' "Blackout/All Clear". I haven't reviewed it yet, but I'm leaning toward 5 stars for Wolfe's "Shadow of the Torturer" as well. I read it right before Morgan's "Cold" which may be why I'm struggling now.

Dusty, I read "Dreamsnake" last year and loved it! I read "This Immortal" as well, but didn't like it as much as his "Lord of Light"

Rhonda, I just saw Jo Walton at a reading last Tuesday here in Portland, OR at Powell's Books. If she comes to your area on her latest book tour, I recommend seeing her. She's quite fun and wonderful in person. And her new book sounds awesome.
