Charles De _harle_agne205 — I discovered Cynthia Tyler's works after reading Finding Polaris, a Kindle release that I stumbled across. I was entertained enough and impressed enough to go back and read her other works, all of which I found enjoyable albeit for various reasons. I must say I don't understand the low ratings here (especially like three stars from someone who claimed to have read and liked it), so here is my individual reaction to Tyler's work. First, I don't read much lesbian fiction because it tends to be too badly written and too outrageously unrealistic (everyone is rich, powerful, drop dead gorgeous, etc). That's fine for those who want to celebrate shallow consumerism, adolescent-style romance, and enough fake trauma drama to make Charley Sheen blush, but it's just not my cup of tea. Contemporary writers who can hold me to a page from start to finish are people like Carolyn See, Elmore Leonard, and Robert Parker. Also by way of introducing my qualifications to judge content, I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD from UCLA as well a certified shamanic counselor who has studied with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Now, about Descanso. I liked Tyler's dialog. It was crisp, real, and the protagonist had an almost detective style delivery which I thought fit her personality. At the same time the character is vulnerable and goes through a reawakening and personal growth that I felt followed a very realistic trajectory. The shamanic experiences are very solid, although if someone is viewing the story as simply magic realism the blend of psychology and shamanism may possibly seem confusing from a literary point of view, but to me it worked as it actually does in real life. Aside from a solid understanding of psychology, a solid understanding of shamanism, I felt the character was developed and believable, although Republicans and fans of Fox (Faux) News may not agree or like it, but it suits the character of Chris Cameron and the tale). Finally, the novel is written in a decent manner and there was one other aspect to Tyler's writing that I love: she's funny. The books are laugh out loud funny and very entertaining. And that I imagine is a hard thing to accomplish in a novel. So for holding my attention, allowing me to escape into someone's else's world, and for keeping me turning the page, I give all the books so far five stars. Just a thought on Goodreads.com, which I also just discovered. There is such a discrepancy between the Amazon reviews for this book and the reviews I see here. Why? I wonder about the wisdom of just allowing a reader to click and rate without explaining the reason which may or may not be relevant to the information about a read that I am seeking. I just think the Amazon system is more informative......

Vikram Bisht vbisht001 — This book disappointed and annoyed me, which really sucked because I enjoyed Enclave so much. The writing in Outpost is so clunky, and the narrative is constantly broken up by Deuce extrapolating on various things, often repeating herself. I was annoyed that she didn't know the meaning of the word "hubris," but her narrative includes words like "tacit" and "constituted" and "impropriety." It just didn't make sense and it disconnected me from her character. Nothing happened in the first two-thirds of the book, but things picked up at the end, so I'm still eager to read the third book in the trilogy. I only hope it lives up to how outstanding Enclave was, because this book sure didn't. Would've been 2.5 stars, but I bumped it up to 3 for a believable, intriguing love triangle.
