In her foreword she's very down on the whole idea of amazons in general (though she included the second of Saunder's Dossouye stories)The Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636805818054637966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-11314818251278054192012-07-23T08:54:03.148-04:002012-07-23T08:54:03.148-04:00Once again, great stuff.

I am not sure if I will like it or not, but it is an important piece of S&S history, and I look forward to reading it.<br />Keep up the stellar work!thedarkmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690692552669084936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-71472808472935807502012-07-20T21:39:19.145-04:002012-07-20T21:39:19.145-04:00First, thank you for the compliment.

Your's is one of the sites that encourage me to step out there and try my hand and something I'd only been toying with before.<br /><br /> As to "Amazons!", I was surprised with how much I liked it.

Your review has convinced me that they are.<br /><br />Speaking of reviews (and in reference to your recent post about other bloggers calling into question the work of many book reviews/reviewers around the web), I do appreciate what you're doing here and encourage you to continue.
