	Melusine by Sarah Monette \| avidbookreader.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It’s a gritty, dark fantasy novel set in the city of Melusine.

	Sarah Monette's Melusine: A Review of the Well-received Fantasy Novel - Associated Content
		Melusine, the fantasy novel from Sarah Monette, is, despite many positive qualities, in many ways a blueprint on how not to write a fantasy novel.
		Sarah Monette’s Melusine is filled with the tropes of the fantasy genre (I think the only one she doesn’t hit on is dragons – otherwise we have long separate siblings, vague stuff about wizards and magic, nefarious one-dimensional villains, a pseudo-medieval environment and a cat burglar who winds up being the book’s heart).
		Melusine also has problems in the area of characterization, while Mildmay, the previously mentioned cat burglar rises above the fantasy novel cliché’s he’s saddled with to be an engaging, funny and occasionally touching creature, his counterpart in the nobility, Felix Harrowgate, never comes to life.

		This vintage also marked her alliance with Winemonger: 400 of those bottles were promptly bought to be imported here to the US (the rest sold out to private customers in Europe).
		We believe a wine mirrors the personality of its creator, and the Melusine is fresh, direct, full of passion, and unconventional (indeed, the Gruner Veltliner sees some aging in French oak barrels, a practice not permitted in the neighboring Wachau region).
		It is also like the story that inspired the name: the beautiful Melusine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers, the mermaid siren that seduced Goethe in the tale, and now everyone else who is lucky enough to get a bottle.

	Romantic SF & Fantasy Novels \| Weblog Entry - 08/26/2005: "MELUSINE by Sarah Monette -- flawed but promising (Suzanne)"
		In a somewhat Renaissance-like time, Melusine is a city with a citadel called Mirador where courtiers and wizards hang out and a 'wrong side of the tracks' full of thieves, prostitutes and other denizens of the darkness.
		MELUSINE is her first novel, but the bio on the cover indicates she won an award for a short story.
		She is excellent at evoking place and mood, but there are some problems that marred the read for me. The book is written in first person - a chapter from Felix's point of view, then a chapter from Mildmay's - a conceit I liked.
