review 1: OMG WAT?! This book was awesome! The author had a couple irksome ticks (STOP IT WITH THE "DOT DOT DOT SOMETHING" GIMMICK: Babylon Steel, ex-sword-for-hire, ex… other things) but they were seriously tiny little things and considering the genre totally forgivable. The pacing was lightning fast, the characters were awesome, the humor was dry, the gender politics were spot on (including a hermaphroditic prostitute with hir/ze pronouns), the sex scenes were hot (LIZARD SEX! DEMIGOD SEX!) and all 'n' all, it was just a rollicking good time. Totally recommended if you need something light, bad-ass, and sexy. Also, loved the jab at literary scabs and hucksters. HA!
review 2: I read a lot of fantasy fiction so when I received a review copy of 'Babylon Steel' I was mig... morehtly interested as it looked just a bit different. Then I started reading it and I couldn't put it down. I expected a light, amusing read with a bit of sexual innuendo, what I got was a fully fleshed world, packed with original, fascinating and unusual characters, a plot that kept me turning pages long into the night and a sensitive and well balanced opinion on the oldest job in the world. Bravo for such a refreshing joy of a novel! less
