May. 1st, 2013 23:19What I'm reading
Carthage Ascendant by Mary Gentle, i.e. The Book of Ash #2. She's a very engaging writer, though I'm not very far in and don't have any complex thoughts about the book yet.
What I've just finished
Battle by Michelle West. I loved it! Just like Skirmish, a lot of stuff happens in this book, and though it's not quite as funny as Skirmish was at times, we do get a lot of backstory about Meralonne, who's always been one of my favorite characters (I used to think the one ship I shipped in these books was Meralonne/Kallandras, but now I think it's Meralonne/his pipe), and as I said on Twitter, I am really impressed at how West can tie things together across 13 books and counting in a meaningful way, viz. Angel's hair. Great stuff. I can't wait for War.
What I'll read next
Probably The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson. I'm really excited.
