Recs and Reviews
Just the thing for a bleak November day! This effervescent, witty fic features an adorably clueless but shrewd Qui-Gon, a somewhat naive but still sharp as a tack Obi-Wan, and a fantastic Xanatos you'd like to simultaneously snog and slap. Cynthia acknowledges a debt to P.G. Wodehouse, but you needn't know Wodehouse at all to enjoy the story (I'd never read him until I read Cyn's fic and became intrigued). I've read this piece many times and always find something new to enjoy. Cynthia is incredibly talented. Her work makes me fawn in admiration and seethe with jealousy. :D[1]
The Book of Sins by Cynthia Martin contains so many of Jude Watson's characters in a Temple story of intrigue and blackmail that it might seem unreadable to anyone not familiar with her work, but the header information and the general Temple setting allow such a person to figure all the characters as friend or villain by their actions. This wasn't easy to write, I suppose, but the action plumbs the depths of the archaic Temple so very well that I recommend it. [2]
