I cringed at the Klausner review of The Virtu. Does she actually read these books? I don't know what's going to happen with Mildmay and Felix but "best friends" isn't an applicable term for any relationship I can imagine.
Mildmay does not share his companion’s confidence as he assumes this is not going to prove a simple task or someone would have done it already.
Ah, sometimes I like Harriet.
THE VIRTU is fantasy at its best as the audience will appreciate the two lead characters, who prove opposites make best friends as Felix is the overconfident optimist and Mildmay is the skeptical pessimist; together they take that partially filled glass and cut off the empty top so that it is filled.
Funny enough, I was going to come and point out my review to you this evening when I found your entry with the link. However did you find it? (My Blog is even less visited than my livejournal)
