One of the things that impressed me most when I read StS was the intimacy in the simplest touches, such as a handshake. Sometimes in human culture, when you have a business meeting, you might dislike the client, but you still have to shake their hand at the end of the meeting. Lucas held firm to his “skin privileges”, where a certain amount of contact is not automatically assumed and touch has more value.

Now you have tempted me to see if I can dig up a copy of this to re-read.. I always forget how much I love Singh, until I either read a review of a beloved book, or have the new one in my hand and instantly devour the book within hours of receiving it.

Yes! I mentioned the Nikita thing on CindyS’s blog, but if I hadn’t reread StS after BbF, I’d never have picked it up. It was very subtly done. I remember after my first read of StS I was convinced Nikita was all ruthless and cold, and I couldn’t work out why she seemed to be mellowing in the later books.

I just posted my review of the latest, Branded by Fire, and with each one I love more the careful detail Ms Singh gives to her world building.
The best part of re-reading is finding the sly clues she seeded in the previous titles–I’m thinking Nikita’s behaviour when Sasha was a child in StS, and she took her to the rehabilitation center, and of the package in BbF.

azteclady, I’ve re-read this book several times, expecting my love for it to wear off eventually. But no, I still love it!
