I don't understand me sometimes
Mar. 11th, 2019 10:37 pmI was at The Strand yesterday looking for an ARC of a particular book that Eva is very excited about, and nothing doing. I did, however, find an ARC of a particular book that *I* am very excited about, and so I bought it.
And today, instead of reading it, I re-read Swordheart and then The Empress of Timbra. (I was a little weak in my praise of it when I posted about it, that latter book, and given that I've now read it three times I think I ought to have recommended it more strongly. It may be a standard European fantasy scene, but there's no plot-consuming love triangles or strings of implausible coincidences, and that's worth a lot, honestly, even if when "potatoes" come up I have to, as I habitually do in this sort of story, mentally edit them to "turnips". It's only one mention, anyway.)
( Minor spoiler for Swordheart )
