I tried really hard not to let them all run together, but they did. Rather than try to pull the last three books apart, I&#8217;m just going to shove &#8216;em in one post and mention what lasting impressions I have.

First, I would have to declare that Mistral is not terribly important to this volume. Let it be known that the titles are farking arbitrary. (Just to spite me, Lick of Frost is going to be ALL ABOUT FROST, I just know it.)

Time moves differently in the sithen. Merry says, &#8220;I wish we had more time!&#8221; and suddenly they do. Time is moving glacially outside the hill, giving them all they need&#8230; to catch a killer.
The book begins with a press conference, sometime in the afternoon (I think). Shortly after it <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-stroke-of-midnight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

First, let me just say that that cover is a total plot-tease. It shows a woman&#8217;s belly, with a nice little round to it, and her hand just so&#8230; The series is about a woman trying to get pregnant. You are plot-teasing me, you stupid cover art!

To be perfectly honest, I&#8217;m going to speed through this review, and #3, Seduced by Moonlight. These books slam into each other and it gets hard to pull them apart.
Anyway, we now know the plot arc for the whole series. Merry&#8217;s aunt, Queen Andais, wants her bloodline to continue on <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/03/a-caress-of-twilight/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know what it is about JR Ward, but her books are amazing. Once begun, it is impossible to stop. Everything else gets put on hold. And that took a serious chunk out of my work this week, as this beautiful, beautiful volume is over 600 pages.

I bought this book because, well, it&#8217;s called The Barbarian and it has a laughably swoony cover. I mean, c&#8217;mon, what&#8217;s more classically romance novel than a dude&#8217;s face all up close and personal while he gaze intensely at you, all the while holding his very phallic <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/the-barbarian/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Racing the Dark is unique among fantasy books. The world draws upon Pacific Island and East Asian cultures to create a rich blend very different from fantasy canon—an island nation with an animist religion centering on sacrifice and binding.
