Order of Solace
review 1: This was much different than her contemporary novels. It's split into 3 novella's that are all interconnected by the characters. I really thought after the first one, I wouldn't finish the book because I didn't really like the premise of the "order of the solace." But, I did finish it and it was okay. Weird, but okay. I don't think I'll read another in this series and I'll be sticking to her contemporaries!
review 2: This book has three novellas in it.The 1st NovellaStillnessStillness is a Handmaiden of the order of Solace.
