Re: Books - Whatcha reading?

Forgot to mention that she also went through a phase where her books got really bad - romance novels are usually formulaic, but she was straight-up copy-pasting chapters from previous books into new books. Apparently she was going through a really bad divorce at the time where she accused her husband of poisoning her (?) and forcing her to sue Cassandra Clare for copyright infringement (??).

She's recovered a lot since then, but she puts so much of herself into all her characters that it's immediately obvious how much the divorce and one of her kids siding against her affected what she wants to write about.

K so the worst I've read in terms of trashy weird would be Mercedes Lackey's Vanyel trilogy and you are making me wonder really hard how bad she stacks up next to Vanyel.

I'd probably make comparisons to Ilona Andrews but actually I'm more or less just in it for the wholesome priest of Chernoborg lulz.

In which danspace re-learns why the fastest way to get humans to do something is to say "Don't, terrible idea."

Alas for human perversity!

Honestly Ilona Andrews is a pretty good cosy read rec for the Dan who's looking for them in that other thread

Sadly I've read her and she doesn't really have what I'm looking for.
