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.

I enjoy Hardinge quite a bit, so I'll put Ursu on the list. Thanks!

I've never thought to connect Hardinge and Ursu, but now that you mention it, I do see a certain ... sharing of thematic concerns.

(I'm waiting for Janni to finish The Lost Girl, which is currently sitting on a pile of trucks in TBD's room.)

I hope you like them!

It took a while for the magical part to become magical, but it was well worth it when it did.

i love her so much.

But what do you think about Hardinge, and does my hypothesis thereon hold up?
