A review by klreeher
Death by Silver by Amy Griswold, Melissa Scott
4.0
I did very much enjoy this series, which I picked up after finishing Scott's Points series. It's got some really interesting world building, and Scot has the knack of making her world building incredibly integral and incredibly banal in the book. It's delightful.
That said, there were Sad Victorian Gays, with some very well-written and not over the top internal angst over being a) a gay and b) head over heels for your childhood bff who you don't think is into you and c) varying levels of dealing with your horrific public school experiences/abuse at hands of your classmates. It was well done, and doesn't weigh down the story, but it was more Sad Gays then I was particularly in the mood for.
