Reactions and Reviews
I got lucky enough to drive The Sentinel van this month, right after the fics from the sentinelbigbang had finished posting. Chrysalis was one of the stand-out entries. Long, plotty, gorgeously written, this AU combines the best of The Sentinel with clever, provocative sci-fic, reminiscent of Isaac Asimov or Heinlein. I can't recommend it highly enough. Combined with some gorgeous artwork from Helvetic, this can't be missed.[1]
Mab is superb at building AU worlds that make sense and still keep our Jim and Blair recognizable. And Helvetica's art is always gorgeous. They did a great job collaborating, and this is a well-deserved rec.[2]
This was written for the Sentinel Reverse Bang challenge held earlier this year. The artwork and story really enhance each other. Mab has probably written enough AUs to populate this category for days. This is one of her best.[3]
