I'm just not on...I haven't read Persuasion. I'm just not one of the Jane Austen superfans. (don't hate me!) I recently read Sense and Sensibility earlier this year and I feel like that will suffice for a while. <br /><br />I didn't realize there was a short prequel - I'll have to look that one up. The pile beside my bed is absolutely embarrassing. There is actually more than one pile. Mike hates all of them. But until I can get another bookshelf, there will have to be piles somewhere. EEK. I will not complain.

And you have a copy? It was meant to be! H...Oh YAY! And you have a copy? It was meant to be! Have you ever read Persuasion?<br /><br />Yes! I do see similarities with D,D (LOVED it too! Have you read Dearly, Beloved?). And the setting was one of my favorite aspects of this story. It mirrors the original Austen. But gives it a fresh edge too. Plus there are some great questions imbedded in the book about advancing technology and science. <br /><br />There is also a prequel called Among the Nameless Stars that is a short story about Kai. I didn't read it before (didn't know about it). But I think many people did - I think I got it free on Smashwords. And it gives a glimpse into his perspective, because FDSS is all from Elliot's POV. <br /><br />I can't even imagine how high the pile beside your bed must be ;).

This sounds amazing. I actually ha...Oh my goodness. This sounds amazing. I actually have a copy of this book that I haven't read yet. WHY WHY WHY?? <br /><br />The way you mention the setting as a mixture of old and new - that reminds me of Dearly, Departed even though this isn't about zombies. I loved that story. <br /><br />This blog post is making me rearrange some books in a pile I have sitting here near my bed. Well done, because this one's been sitting there for a long time!
