As the new year begins, lists, recounting the best selections from the previous year, emerge.
RANDOM (BUT NOT REALLY) selects Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR as favorite fantasy of 2020.
Anne at BOOKS OF MY HEART places the book within their Top Ten.
Both on their microblog RANDOM (NOT REALLY) and blog RANDOM READING, Michelle Klishis praises Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR.
THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR by Carrie Vaughn was fantastic. It’s the backstory of Rick the Vampire, and has one of my favorite short stories embedded in it.
RANDOM (NOT REALLY)
What I love most about Rick / Ricardo is he is quite unlike any other vampire I’ve read. He never wanted to be a vampire, and refused to allow his changing to turn him into a monster.

ONE BOOK TWO felt much the same about the audio edition.
I think I would read any story set in Kitty’s world, whether it was about Kitty or her many interesting acquaintances. Vaughn has created a rich world full of magic and mayhem that could support thousands of stories. Sign me up for all of them!
