greenmtgirl 's review for:
Conspiracy of Ravens
by Lila Bowen
In which Rhett suffers a lot . . . and gets laid a lot.
I can't say enough good about this series. They're well-written Westerns exploring issues like gender identity and sexuality in ways that never feel anachronistic or politicized--just good story-telling. When Lila Bowen writes about the desert, you can actually see it's stark shadows and feel the dry heat. The risks the characters face are real; they never feel protected from causality to indulge either author or reader. And there are very few books or series where I don't particularly like the main character but find them engrossing and want to spend time with them all the same.
