Query: painfully beautiful

Ms. Hambly does it again: gorgeously written passages of description, quirky, bespectacled characters who must give everything to accomplish their goals, and, of course, bad-guys we love to hate. I gave this book four stars rather than five simply out of pique. I hate having to wait for the next book to come out. A warning to those who are unfamiliar with Ms. Hambly's writing: she does nasty, nasty things to her main characters.
