I'm so glad you're enjoying -- and that you agree about the awesomeness of the dialogue! </p>Claire commented on '<i>Sky Coyote: The Company, #2</i> -- Kage Baker'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a70abe39970b2009-12-04T03:30:38Z2009-12-04T03:30:38ZClaire http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/836167I picked In the Garden of Iden after your recommendation and while I really liked it -- enough to ILL...<p>I picked In the Garden of Iden after your recommendation and while I really liked it -- enough to ILL Sky Coyote -- I have to say that as of halfway through, I'm loving Sky Coyote so much more. (I accidentally picked up another one out of order and it didn't sense to the extent that I returned it after 30 pages. So I was skeptical.) I totally think Kage Baker make the right choice in not using a faux-dialect. Can you imagine how awful that would be? At best it would be stilted, and at worst totally horrifying. Instead the language draws the "history repeats itself" parallels for her. </p>
<p>Anyway, thank you! Totally loving it so far, and I would never have picked it up without your recommendation. </p>Beth commented on '<i>Sky Coyote: The Company, #2</i> -- Kage Baker'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a6b67676970b2009-11-19T16:10:58Z2009-11-19T16:10:58ZBethI love Kage Baker.

I have no idea why she's not more popular. We have all of her books at my library, but that's because I order adult fiction. We have two local chain bookstores in my small town, and neither of them has any Baker books, which continues to puzzle me. </p>Arlene commented on '<i>Sky Coyote: The Company, #2</i> -- Kage Baker'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a6b2cb83970b2009-11-18T22:06:14Z2009-11-18T22:06:14ZArleneHer fantasy stand alone, Anvil of the World, is amazing too -- rather original for an epic fantasy (hard to...<p>Her fantasy stand alone, Anvil of the World, is amazing too -- rather original for an epic fantasy (hard to do these days) and not book one of the Gazilliad (also hard to do these days). I LOVE her writing style.</p>Lisa commented on '<i>Sky Coyote: The Company, #2</i> -- Kage Baker'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2012875b2ce0f970c2009-11-18T18:16:58Z2009-11-18T18:16:58ZLisaThis is still my favorite of all the Company books -- I was just thinking of it fondly the other...<p>This is still my favorite of all the Company books -- I was just thinking of it fondly the other day while watching Looney Tunes.

Dude, they only get better! Also, I have been talking non-stop about this series, and finally convinced a friend to try it. She ordered the Garden of Iden at her local bookstore, and the cover is atrocious. Like, really, really terrible. I had to do some fast talking to convince her to read it anyways.</p>
