I've been reading books from this series in no particular order, and it was a real pleasure to read one from early in the time line - right after Qwill inherits a fortune. It explains why he moved, how he and the cats made friends and how he changed the town. Of course there's a mystery or two for Koko to solve ...

What a fun book - mythology meets Hollywood, romance meets hypnotism ... or is it magic? This is an easy reading story that combines love and fantasy and marketing.
Mildly erotic, romantic, and very informative about the creatures of the dark who "serve" mankind. This medieval story has it all - comedy, magic, war, love and hate. Light reading and very entertaining.
I had to keep reminding myself that this was fiction. It is a well researched and realistic look at a shameful period during this nation's development, and asks "what if one thing happened differently?" The alternate history story of one woman, as told in her journals, draws the reader into the past and it's hard to put the book down for any reason. The story told here didn't really happen, but it COULD have.

Andre Norton has always been one of my favorite story tellers and this two-part book illustrates why. Both stories, set in 2250 A.D., are about our far distant descendants learning to live after war wiped out life as we know it. Daybreak was written in 1952 and No Night Without Stars was written in 1975. Andre Norton's attention to detail and character development make it seem as if both stories were written this year. This book is a real page-turner, hard to put down for any reason.
