Notes: This is a large
series, with 3 novels, 3 novelas and 27 short stories. If that seems a
bit daunting, I don't blame you. Do what I did and take the
author's advice: The first six chapters of the first novel (Mind Fuck), make a great short story called Virtual.
It introduces you to the characters, gives you some time with them, and
if you aren't into them enough to keep reading, you can stop
there. If you are, there's a link to Chapter Seven at the end of Virtual. You don't have to miss a beat, just keep reading.
The world Manna has created is dark and disturbing, but at the same
time, fascinating. The characters are intriguing, and a complex
mix of good and bad. You love Val Toreth, even though sometimes
you just want to smack him a good one upside the head, and you
root for Keir, even while you know he's going to make the wrong move,
fall in love with the wrong guy... As crazy as it is, you want
those two to be together. The plots are complicated and
fascinating, the short pieces great glimpses into their lives, and the
lives of their friends and families. I avoided this series for a
long time, thinking it was too big a project to take on - but believe
me, once you've started, you'll want to read more.
