I just downloaded <i>Mongrel</i> and am looking forward to reading it.<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post, K.Z.

I'll never be able to stretch them as far as Mieville, though. His imagination is so rich and layered, I sometimes think he's half mad! What a brilliant writer.K. Z.

Have you read Perdito Street Station? Mongrel has some of that feel to it, but not quite as harsh.

I can't wait to read Mongrel (thanks to Dreamspinner for making it available for free download) and look forward to Merman!<br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330489202176919596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443946567762130151.post-36401490801205919572013-07-15T06:38:35.339-07:002013-07-15T06:38:35.339-07:00Delightful!

If that makes any sense. The main reason I started reading MM romance is because I have zero tolerance for Mary Sues. I could care less if her gloves and hat match.
