Finished this one. I love Attanasio, he's one of my favourite authors. However, this one didn't do much for me. It's young adult which is probably the issue. I'm so accustomed to his beautiful prose and sophisticated ideas that a simplified version of him just fell flat for me. Additionally, this is faeries and gnomes - the kind of urban fantasy elements that just don't appeal to me like they used to.

Now I'm reading an indie effort which promises to be a bit different - a LBGT historical drama. It's The Pretty Gentleman by Max Fincher and I'll be reviewing it for my site. It's about a wide-eyed young painter who falls for his patron and is eventually betrayed. So - here I go.
