They're fantastic, with a complex world and wonderful characters.</p>Rachel commented on '<i>StarCrossed: Thief Errant, #1</i> -- Elizabeth C.

<p>By the by, I don't think Fire/Graceling/Bitterblue are a series in the traditional sense--I loved Fire (one of the best fantasies I've read in years) but don't remember cursing the ending for leaving any loose ends. I haven't even read Graceling yet (though I do own it).</p>Leila commented on '<i>StarCrossed: Thief Errant, #1</i> -- Elizabeth C.

<p>I'm a fan of all three authors! So yay, I will likely pick this up. I didn't really like <i>A Curse as Dark as Gold</i> though so I hope I have a better reaction to this one.</p>Laura Manivong commented on '<i>StarCrossed: Thief Errant, #1</i> -- Elizabeth C.

They delievered in a big way! I even reread A CURSE DARK AS GOLD (and I don't reread novels) because there are so many layers of intrigue and characterization and clue dropping. I'd have no problem rereading STARCROSSED too as a study on how to build a varied cast of characters. Cannot wait for the next installment, and I'm not a huge series fan either.</p>Angie commented on '<i>StarCrossed: Thief Errant, #1</i> -- Elizabeth C.

Cashore and Francisco Stork on a panel at the Boston Book Fest on Saturday. (And also the point where I admit that I reread <i>Graceling</i> for the nth time last night.

I'm curious about whether anyone else had the same initial reaction I did - that parts of it, mostly in the second half, were covering the same territory Kristin Cashore did in Fire. </p>
<p>But like I said, it clicked for me on the second reading, and I'm looking forward to the sequel.</p>Leila commented on '<i>StarCrossed: Thief Errant, #1</i> -- Elizabeth C.
