OOH! BOOK NEWS!

This may be of interest to other Tamora Pierce fans. Interesting that she's breaking away from her normal quartet way of writing... not sure if I like that idea....

And notice that she's doing a lot of "backstory" with Tortall... Numair growing up, books set 200 years ago (to them), Maura (well, that's recent, but still!). Very interesting...

I'm pissed that I have to wait until 2005 for anything other than a Tortall book, though. I like *both* sets of them, why can't I get them both sooner? MOMmy! Make her stop taunting me!!! *sighs*

Um... Anyway. That said.... JennJenn? We going to the booksigning this month?

I liked the Kel books, though trust me when I tell you that this new set, which is just two books, is going to blow them out of the water. Aly? Much cooler. By far the best heroine she's ever had.

Why didn't you like Kel?

I'm not sure I can say exactly why I didn't like Kel. I was just bored - they didn't seem original in comparison to the Daine books or some of the circle books. They were just Alanna redux. Maybe they got more interesting later on, I dunno. I think I'd just gotten a hold of Joan D. Vinge's cat books when I was reading the Kel series, and they claimed my attention completely so I gave up on Kel.
