firstlight*adds The Warrior's Apprentice (Lois McMaster Bujold) to the read pile*
Good read, that one. *g* I started off a bit dissatisfied purely because I bounced straight over to it from the Gentleman Bastard books and I am possibly... somewhat over-fond of the main characters there. Other books were liable to be found guilty of the crime of Not Being About Locke. That slight barrier overcome, though, it was a really enjoyable story. I look forward to Miles's continued adventures, when I can actually find any of the other books. (Not least, one has to wonder how he'll avoid getting strangled. WAIT, DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING I MAY HAVE SAID ABOUT LOCKE RECENTLY? HMM.)
Apparently I'm quite fond of characters who are Too Inventive For Their Own Good.
Who knew.
(Don't answer that.)
Next is Fairyland by Paul J McAuley, because it's been sitting on my to read pile since I was in my mid-teens, and that's a slightly embarrassing period of time to have been meaning to read a book for. It's probably been about four or five years since I even spoke to the person who recommended it to me. (They also recommended Altered Carbon and The Stars My Destination, both of which I only got around to last year and both of which I loved... oops.)
