Put it down for a bit to re-read The Folding Knife though.
So....the ending makes sense to you? You liked it?
As Steve said, I love to read KJ Parker.
Although, I have to admit that the first time that I read this one I was left a bit...flat, shall we say. I'm actually looking forward to going through this one for a second time. I'm hoping that my rose-colored glasses will be a little less tinted this time, and that I'll be able to develop a more unbiased opinion of it. Taht being said, I'm about 20 pages into the re-read and thoroughly loving it. lol. She does character development right; if not character consistency or justification perfectly. I wasn't thoroughly impressed with the ending of The Company, though I fully enjoyed that story. Yes she has a number of imperfections inherent in her books, but the things that she does well, she does really well, imho. Honestly, the only reason I'm re-reading this one so soon after the first time through (March 1st) is because of a little impetus that has arisen involving a particular book review site I frequent...
On a side note, WriterDan, I assume you ordered Parker's new novella from SubPress? As well as the Daniel Abraham collection?
You scared me there for a bit. Thought they'd already been released!
So, yes, I'm planning on getting a copy of both of them. Up until a couple weeks ago though, I'd been without funds to do so. Thank heaven for birthdays! Now I'm not-so-broke, instead of just broke.
Blue & Gold isn't out until December, but I need to order Leviathan Wept today. Thanks for the reminder, Steve.
