usuallyhatsInfernal Devices - Philip Reeve
A Darkling Plain - Philip Reeve
Assassin's Apprentice - Robin Hobb
Royal Assassin - Robin Hobb
ONLY REREADS, NOTHING ELSE. I did read 19 short stories this month, though (clearing out my Instapaper backlog), that's, what, an anthology and a half? Anyway, here's a few that I liked:
Court of Birth, Court of Strength - Aliette de Bodard: I love this world, I love de Bodard's writing, and I loved this story about people trying to find a better path when it looks like there are only bad options.
Sun, Moon, Dust - Ursula Vernon: Sweet story about a man who inherits a magical sword containing three ancient spirits who are somewhat taken aback to find that he has no desire at all to be any kind of legendary warrior.
Last Chance - Nicole Kornher-Stace: Engrossing novelette set in a different corner of the world of her Archivist Wasp books.
The First Witch of Damansara - Zen Cho: Zen Cho has such a strong voice. This story is a delightful mix of down to earth humour and emotional truth and I liked it very much.
