Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Love, love, love Icarus!

Then again, I have this odd fan fiction vibe that I normally don't get from published books. I don't like it because it's unsettling me, but I don't have anything against fan fiction so that's not the problem.  I think  it's because I don't usually get this vibe from books.   (Anne Bishop, whom I adore, is another author who does this to me.)

It was worse in the first couple of pages - the unsettling feeling, so maybe, like with Bishop, this will go away the more I read of this.   It's the childhood element, the family drama, elements that are used in fan fiction that originally made me feel this way strongly.  I'm not sure I can pinpoint the exact way it made me feel this way or the exact reason.   The more I read, the more this unsettled feeling goes away, so if after eighteen pages I'm feeling more comfortable, I'm hoping by like fifty pages it will just have gone away completely. 

Also, please note that I've already looked up to see if there's a sequel because ICARUS.   So, yeah, I'm liking a lot of what she's doing, and I want MOAR.   

I'll be buying the sequel directly from the publisher at Readercon, because I'm assuming they'll have it there.
