Read it if you enjoy good writing, if you are keen to see a snapshot of what Tansy is capable of. It was certainly an enjoyable, relaxing read. Overall I got the sense that Tansy had a lot of fun writing this collection. The Last of the Romanpunks was action, and hardboiled humour - a nice little tale to wrap up the series. The Patrician could be expanded into its own book - a little buffy mixed with a little Dr Who as other reviewers have mentioned 2. I appreciated the construction, the form and the history of Julia Agrippina’s Secret Family Bestiary but enjoyed it less than the other pieces. If pushed, I liked Lamia Victoriana the most, Tansy has captured Victorian repressed sexuality, gothic horror/romance and Roman vampires all in one short piece. I think all could stand alone, bar the last, which does rely on the others to a large degree for backstory. Each of these works are independent in both style and tone, which I think makes for an entertaining and refreshing read. Love and Romanpunk is a bit of a showcase of Tansy’s skill. Julia Agrippina’s Secret Family Bestiary.I have been HANGING OUT for the ebook version of this book and fully appreciate the work that has gone into making my wish a reality(yes they did it just for me 1).įor the meagre sum of $5.95 the reader is treated to 4 original and reasonably independent works, lovingly woven together. Love and Romanpunk by Tansy Rayner Roberts is the second in Twelfth Planet Press’ Twelve Planets series.
