Starman (Sara Douglass)

More overwrought fantasy from Douglass. Betrayal! Evil babies! Vows of undying love! Discovering that you're actually a god! People adoring you or hating you with a fiery passion, and nothing in between.
In fact, that's a good description of this book (and most of her others, as far as I'm aware. I'm rereading a lot of hers, for light entertainment) - it's all crazy ups and downs, with nothing in between. Most good books, in my opinion, go deeper into that in between. Douglass just rushes about on the surface of life.
Lots of fun, though. These books would be hilarious to parody. I wonder if anyone writes fanfic for these?
