and it fits in so absolutely and completely perfectly. I love all the rich layers you put in the deck as in everywhere else in the book.

I was dithering and drooling to a friend about how much I love the books yesterday. I was trying to explain to her why it is that I had no trouble at all assimilating their vocabulary. I've always read books with a lot of cant in them, and I compared them to the novels of Georgette Heyer, which I got hooked on as a teenager.

I really enjoy the fact that every social group, city and clique in your books has its own vocabulary, catchphrases and mysteries.
