I was recommended to read A Woman Worth Ten Coppers by Morgan Howell in a rather roundabout way. Meaning, I was looking at Zutara fanart on a comm and someone had done cross-over art of Zuko and Katara as the main characters from the book. Intrigued but uncertain, I finally just bought it in Chapters' buy-3-get-the-4th-free sale and technically paid nothing for it. Woot.

Well damn. I'm totally hooked. I finished it last night. Hot damn, I thought, I need a sequel like whoa. It was getting to the good stuff! But I had an inkling that it would be a wait yet, as it only came out last year. Amazon has the sequel as coming out on October 27.

Whiiiiiiine. A: It's a long wait. B: October 27th? I can't read a novel that close to Nano! Anything I read in October flavours whatever I write in November! I was planning on writing a space opera which got changed (maybe) to a steampunk novel with a Klapperschlange and an epic chase scene through Badlands in the middle of a storm in which several men and regrettably many horses die during our hikes through Dinosaur National Park on the weekend. But if I read that novel four days before Nano? I'll wind up writing a fantasy (perhaps the sequel to my 2005 nano that I never finished).

So I whined to Debbie, and she said "well why not write a steampunk space opera fantasy?" And I thought about it for a second, and then figured, it worked for Treasure Planet...

Anyway, A Woman Worth Ten Coppers is a good read, and I have some planning to do.

*laughs a lot* Oh man, I read that book for the exact same reason as you XDXD And I adored it. I really want the sequal very, very much, too x___x; (I had a few little issues with the book, but oh I adored it.)

Steampunk Space Opera x A Woman Worth Ten Coppers-Verse? Sounds interesing indeed X3

I had a couple issues too, but overall, a very enjoyable read, and reaaaaaaaaally can't wait for the sequel D: It finally addressed what I was whining about a couple weeks ago - when you're finished oppressing your foes, who are you going to oppress then?? Me, I think Bahl is the same one from yonks ago, and once Averen is destroyed, he'll turn on his own army, perhaps devour all the animals and plants and then... NOTHING BECAUSE THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT >:C Why do they never think of this! Sheesh.

(I can tell we will have MUCH to squee about when we next meet, since we seem to be attached at the mental hip atm XD)

I liked it, though- and the term of endearment (holy- I cannot spell tonight. D: ) that I cannot remember right now because I am tired and need to go to bed and haven't read the book in ages.
But yes, what will happen after everything is destroyed? WHAT THEN?!

(YES, I THINK SO. XD I STILL need to see the end of the series, damnit. D: But by now I just want to see the entire series over again and then go into the last season... bah!)
