On top of all the other stuff I enjoyed so much in the first two Company books, this one is chock full of classic Hollywood. Yum.

Well, there are at least two named characters who are women, but they spent most of their time together sniping at one another, rather than actually talking to each other, so we may not pass the Bechdel test here, either. On the other hand, there's quite a bit of history on California, with plenty of info on the native fauna and flora. I'm not keen on Westerns in general, but I like the way the time and place are handled, and all the side stuff about the Civil War. And the importance of having satisfying work, because relationships are impermanent. Especially for immortals. I do wish we'd gotten to know more about the young scientist with the birds, he fascinated me.
