Aug. 18th, 2012 12:16 pmA cool perk of being involved in digital and indy publishing is that occasionally I get sent Advanced Reader Copies of novels that my friends and colleagues have put out. I feel like I have A Network. :D The only unfortunate side of this is that these ARCs are, of course, digital, and I do not own an e-reader. I'm working on it.
ANYWAY! This means it sometimes takes me some time to read them, because most of my reading is on the train. But I did finally get to read One Saved To The Sea, a novella by Catt Kingsgrave, which is a downright treat.
( Review, minor spoilers, behind the cut. )
Final Verdict: I found it a really enjoyable read, and I'm liking the fact that with so many people coming into literature (particularly erotic lit) from fandom, we're getting much less crude, much more interesting plots and porn than we used to.
As it's a small-press digital book, I thought I'd throw in the purchase links as well. It retails for $3.99 in ePub, Mobi, and PDF, and you can find it at Circlet Press, at Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at Smashwords.
