I read Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword recently and thought it was excellent, so was wondering what next to read of his - problem solved!
You are the guru of sci-fi! I'm glad this one was a hit. I laughed about spending more time searching than reading; believe me it has happened to me.

The Broken Sword looks like straight-up Fantasy. Some of the elements I read about in the book blurb were present in "The Queen of Air and Darkness" as well. Very nice.

I loved Little Big by him."
Rora I am taking your advice on Little, Big. I just ordered a copy so that it will be a possible book for 2025. Thanks for the recommendation.

So this is the final report for 2024. I read one last book last night Spring Garden by Tomoka Shibasaki (2017) winner of the Akutagawa Prize 4*. It was quite good.
