Michelle West: Hunter’s Oath

The last one of my 1st in the series challenge! Huray! This is the first in a duology of books. I already have the second book. Stephen is a young orphan boy who has joined a gang of thieves so that he can survive. One night ...woman, the other is clearly jealous. I’m rather surprised if none of the “brothers” turn out to be lovers. I liked the book enough to read the second part of the duology.

Auld Lang...You Know

... got married to my darling beast, but he finally found a job and we got housemates and in the midst of fear that my literary life was coming to a close, suddenly sold an adult trilogy, a YA duology, two standalones and a children's picture book. Holy roller coaster, Batman. Obviously, would like good parts without dark hours next year, plz. But it doesn't work that way. They come together, and I ...

Yuletide stuff

Okay, okay, okay, so I got *two* gifts for Yuletide this year. Two! And they are both awesomely awesome with a dash of awesome. The first is a fanfic for Patricia Briggs' Hurog duology which I suggest that people totally read (the book and fanfic, that is). The author captures perfectly ward's characterization and his relationship with Oreg. Perditus et Repertus The next is a Blake's 7 fic ...

#105: "Ink and Steel" by Elizabeth Bear

... became excessive and aggravating, especially toward the ending. Some of it was part of character development, but not all, and some of it could be well implied without such detail. Even though I'm curious about the second book in this duology, I won't be picking it up because I fear it will include more of the same. In summary: an artfully-rendered historical/urban fantasy, but not for prudes.

The Wrestler (2008)

The second film of my "gone-to-seed" duology is a return to form, of sorts, for director Darren Aronofsky, after what I thought was the nobly ambitious but nonetheless artistically compromised failure of his last film, THE FOUNTAIN. Although I'm aware that there are some pretty staunch defenders of THE FOUNTAIN on my friendslist, I just felt that that movie took Aronofsky too far afield from the ...

Malley, Gemma: The Declaration

...'t cater to its young audience, and this is a book that caters. As far as the story goes, the premise, great as it is, doesn't feel lived up to, but then again, this is the first book of a duology (or series?), so it's easy to imagine (especially given the ending), that we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. That said, I'm not sure I see myself continuing. Sure, it's a great premise that I'd ...

It's not just the end of another year...

...and the century and the new millennium on. But that wasn't the end of it - I moved yet again to a different country and a different continent to do this thing. In 2001 and 2002, my fat fantasy duology (the "Changer of Days" books) was published in New Zealand. During 2002, I started writing a brand new book - the book that would become "The Secrets of Jin Shei". Mid-2002, I signed with a New York...
