I have a weak spot for Marjorie M. Liu's writing...and an even weaker spot for her "Dirk & Steele" novels. If there is one thing I regret about reading these books it's that I wish I could have known how much I would enjoy them so I could have read them in the correct order, back to back to back.
But you all know how it is (or some of you do anyway). You (I) read so much between books in a series that if you don't have them laid out in order you kind of loose a sense of the previous characters and their stories, therefore the "impact" of the series is lost a little.
The characters were great, it was action packed and the story was all it should have been. The chemistry between Lethe and Lannes sizzled...but she should have given us more of them together... Most of the time when authors rush the "moment" it leaves something to be desired; timing wasn't right, etc. But that would not have happened in this one, this great author lined everything up perfectly, but never gave in until the end, so minus 1 Star from me for that.
This really is a great series, but learn from my mistake and read them in order!"
"Only Marjorie Liu would write a novel where the hero is a gargoyle. This was fairly entertaining, though the hero makes some deeply stupid choices that made me as a reader go, "Really? You sure you want to do that?" I did especially like Lannes's friendship with Frederick, and also really enjoyed Koni and Rictor's sniping. (Koni really needs to get his own book, pronto.) The heroine, however, felt underdeveloped in comparison."
"Though I didn't like this particular Dirk & Steele Novel as much as the others in the series, I still liked it. While it isn't necessary to have read the others in the series to enjoy The Wild Road, it might be helpful to the reader to have a little foundation first to get the full impact of this story and the world the author has excellently built. Everything's connected in The Wild Road and then tied up very neatly in the end. However, you will still be wanting more afterward...about the secondary characters, i.e., when certain characters will get a story of their own.
If you love paranormal, urban fantasy, romance, and suspense, this is the book for you."
