A friend of mine sent me the following link to a weblog about the Romance genre. In the comments for this entry, there's a bit about Steve I thought needed sharing. http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/l_ust/ Comment: "...I must take a moment here and turn to my favorite master of wonderful dialogue: Steven Brust. The Phoenix Guards (and the whole series after it) just have such sly, witty, Dumas-pere-esque humor that they function as a literary aphrodisiac for all that there are precious few heaving bosoms. (After all, a man who can write that type of witty repartee might be able to engage in it in person. MRRROWR!)" Never would have thought to find him there. He pops up in the oddest places.... Chris
