FF: Masks and Whispers
Roary: Five Months Old and Growing
Yes! I did it. I’ve handed SK4 over to David Weber, and as a reward gave myself more time to read.
For those of you unfamiliar with this column, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines. The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
Recently Completed:
The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick. First book in the forthcoming Rook and Rose Trilogy. Due for release in January 2021. Rich in intrigue, characters, and setting, this was what epic fantasy should be but rarely is. (M.A. Carrick is a joint pen name for Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, both previously published authors.)
In Progress:
Dark Whisper by Bruce Coville. Third book in the Unicorn Chronicles. Audiobook. As with any good series, solving one set of problems created new ones.
DreamForge Magazine, issue six. My copy arrived and I’ve been reading it before bed.
Also:
I’m doing some research for several projects, including finally getting back to running my RPG and a possible short story.
