Miles Off Course by Sulari GentillMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
More fan mail for Sulari! Also, I am recommending the series to even more people than last time.
I loved the cameos! I had my suspicions about one of the less obvious ones, and it turned out I was right. And the couple of mentions of Norman Lindsay... Well, I was brought up with a healthy respect for Lindsay that survived the movie Sirens! And I love the thought of Lindsay sending Rowly a difficult model - and Rowly replying in kind.
And Wilfred is more adorable than ever. I don't know how anyone would cope with the real version (or Rowly and Kate with the fictional one) but as an occasional companion in fiction (and a pleasant foil to Rowly) Wil really is a winner. (Here I must admit I'm contemplating personal fic from Kate's point of view. Sinclair, not Leigh.)
All in all, a fabulous addition to the series. And next book we're in 1933 Germany! What... fun?

PS: Oh! And I totally failed to note my appreciation of Harry Simpson, both Rowly and Wil's unswerving loyalty to him, and the fact that he never, ever spoke in dialect. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sulari.
Thank you Heidi... I think I was a little bit in love with Harry Simpson by the end of that book. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
