FF: Moving Along

Dandy Has Witchy Fur

Winter and Spring are busy fencing as to which is in charge.  I can see advantages to both, so I just lean back and watch.

A reminder.  The Friday Fragments is not a book review column; it’s a list of what I’m reading and maybe a bit about my opinions.  I always read the comments section and enjoy learning what other people are reading.  Oh, and I don’t usually list shorter works unless in a collection or articles, I also don’t usually list scattered research reading.

Completed:

Witchy Eye by D.J. Butler.  Very solidly researched alternate history into which a classic “hidden heir” Fantasy plot is convincingly integrated.  The second edition (which I am reading) includes an excellent essay on how the author’s alternate “America” evolved.  One of those rare alternate history works in which scrupulous attention to worldbuilding does not mean characterization takes second place.

In Progress:

The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers.  Audiobook.  Re-listen.  Almost done.  Quite enjoying.

Witchy Winter by D.J. Butler.  The hidden heir is no longer hidden.  Looks as if this book will really expand the setting.  Just started.

Also:

Finished the latest Smithsonian, now on to the new Archeology.
