And more books were read!
Marion: I finished Too Like the Lightning, by John W. Campbell Award winner Ada Palmer, and Seven Surrenders, the sequel. I hope to have a review of the second one done soon. I am about three chapters into The Will to Battle, which is the final volume. I took a couple of breaks to read essays in Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, and a couple of stories from Josh Weil’s story collection The Age of Perpetual Light.
Tadiana: A two-week update for me: I’ve read Connie Willis‘s I Met a Traveller in an Antique Land, a novella recently published in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine that is soon to be republished as a stand-alone work by Subterranean Press, and reread Robin McKinley‘s classic YA fantasy The Blue Sword, a longtime favorite comfort read, with my real-life book club. I’m currently reading Elizabeth Bonesteel’s The Cold Between, an enjoyable mystery/space opera. Other recent non-SFF reads: Helen MacInnes’s The Venetian Affair, a Cold War spy thriller, and another reread of a old favorite, Georgette Heyer’s Frederica.
Terry: I’ve started The Fisherman by John Langan, and I’ve been reminded again, from the very first paragraphs, what a great craftsman Langan is — he writes like a dream! I finished Stone of Farewell by Tad Williams this week, and am convinced that it is(one of the best middle novels in a trilogy I’ve ever read. I’ll and will be moving on to To Green Angel Tower very soon now. I rarely read trilogies one right after the other, even when I have all three books in hand; I’ve felt I’ve needed a fresh breath in between. But I find I quite like going at it this way.
