A review by chirson
Alive and Home Here by Mary Anne Mohanraj, Racheline Maltese, Joel Derfner, Ellen Kushner, Tessa Gratton, Paul Witcover, Alaya Dawn Johnson

4.0

This was so good! Fun, engaging and poignant in turn. I really enjoyed the interactions between Kaab and Tess. I thought in general it was the best the series has been at getting into Kaab's head (and the difference was striking, really). The dilemma of choosing between family and love. The way love may not be enough. The prose in general was really beautiful. I even enjoyed spending time with Rafe (less so with Artul), and that's a first. The only plotline I really didn't care about was Reza and Vincent Applethorpe, but I'm just not that into swordmen (which I guess is a problem, given the series is into them, a lot).

It made me more interested in Alaya Dawn Johnson's own novels.
