The second book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy: The year is Two House, and the Emperor of the Mexica has just died. The protections he afforded the Empire are crumbling, and the way lies wide open to the flesh-eating star-demons--and to the return of their creator, a malevolent goddess only held in check by the War God's power. The council should convene to choose a new Emperor, but they are too busy plotting against each other. And then someone starts summoning star-demons within the palace, to kill councilmen... Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, must find the culprit before everything is torn apart. REVIEWS: ‘Political intrigue and rivalry among a complex pantheon of divinities drive this well-paced murder mystery set at the height of the Aztec Empire in the late 15th century. De Bodard reintroduces the series hero Acatl, high priest of the dead, immediately following the death of the Tenochtitlan leader. One of the council members in charge of choosing a successor has been brutally murdered in what looks like an attempt to influence the decision. But the deaths continue and the political situation grows more complex, while the empire looks to be increasingly at risk of invasion by malignant powers. Acatl must go face-to-face with the most powerful god in his world and put the good of the empire above his antipathy for is rivals to achieve the uneasy succession. De Bodard incorporates historical fact with great ease and manages the rare feat of explaining complex culture and political system without lecturing or boring the reader.’ —Publishers Weekly ‘Another thing that intrigues me here is the whole fact that historically we know that the real empire died out mysteriously and completely and as such there is always that thought in the back of my mind that the author could choose to bring about the end of days. That highlighted sense of possible doom is something that is missing from too many novels. The way the story is told in this book is very impressive, the plot is both mature and seductive, twisting and turning like a weather vane in a force 9 gale while the action is both bloodthirsty and imaginative. The world building is fantastic and we get to learn even more of this rich culture and the many gods and creatures of the dark. I really can’t fault this book at all and recommend it to one and all but if you haven’t yet read Servant of the Underworld I suggest that you get them both and read them in order, you won’t be disappointed.’ —SF Book Reviews ‘Bodard’s writing is polished and striking, as she convincingly fills in the colorful elements of the Aztec culture–even if those colors tend to be of blood and bile as well as flowers and hummingbirds... beautiful, grimy, breathtaking, and morbid. 5*’ —Examiner ‘Aliette de Bodard has done it again. Harbinger of the Storm is an action packed Aztec mystery opera with magic, interventions from the gods and more twists and turns than the first book. It even has a love story with amusing snippets here and there... The story is self contained and can be enjoyed standalone, but you will not want to miss out on the first. I wish it was 2012 already even if the world is going under while I read the final Obsidian & Blood.’ —Cybermage

This is the story of Barbara's journey with her mother through her mother's battle with Alzheimer's. While it is a devastating and debilitating disease, they found moments of joy and laughter along the way. It also tells the story of Barbara's journey from childhood family dysfunction to forgiveness. Both journeys converge when Barbara and her three sisters unite as adults to give their mother loving care during the final years of her life. Barbara's love of dance weaves in and out of both journeys, culminating in a surprising interaction between Barbara and her mother during her mother's advanced stage of Alzheimer's. Barbara Rudnicki is retired after teaching high school English for 40 years. Now, she works part-time at Danson Feet Dance Studio, where she clogs once a week with fun women of all ages. For over 25 years, she has enjoyed summer trips exploring Minnesota with a group of teacher friends and finds that no matter how small the town, it always has fun surprises. She loves spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. While this is Barbara's first adventure in publishing, she has read her work at places such as The Loft, Patrick's Cabaret, and the Blue Moon Café. Barbara Rudnicki's Dancing Through the Storm is a memoir about a woman who forgets and the women around her-her daughters-who refuse to forget. The slow, then quick, then slow presentation of Barb's mother's descent into Alzheimer's disease is carefully woven into Dancing Through the Storm, making the book feel like a dance between the author and the reader. Indeed, the dancing motif, used as an extended metaphor throughout, provides moments of joy in a book that is deeply sad but necessary reading for anyone whose life has been touched by dementia or Alzheimer's disease. - Nicole Helget, Minnesota Book Award Author, The End of the Wild
