I've been a fan of Anne Ursu since Breadcrumbs

I'm now midway through The Lost Girl and I'm happy to report that her characters have read books published in this century. (And books I like, too.)

As for whether anybody else should read her books, I keep thinking that anybody who enjoys Hardinge will probably enjoy Ursu's books as well. I don't know why I think that, because neither their plots nor their characters nor their writing styles are so similar, but that's what I think.

After my fifth re-read of Goblin Emperor*

I have finally managed to pull myself away to read some of my years-long backlog. Next up, Memory of Empire. "But Connie! Surely that book only came out a few days ago?" Yup, that's right, but it was on pre-order, so it counts. (Note to self: Stop putting so many books on pre-order.)

* Yeah, this is a thing that happens. I get stuck on one book (or other interesting thing) until I'm not. Specifically, this is an autistic thing that happens.
