A grab bag of reviews
Apr. 17th, 2007 08:23 pm( The BPAL reviews: 13, Red Queen, Jester, Dragon's Heart and Haloa )
By the way, why did no one tell me before that Anne McCaffrey had written an Arthurian novel? And an Arthurian novel about horses as well. I spent a very pleasant afternoon curled up with Black Horses For The King, being vastly cheered by this novel about King Arthur’s farrier. Next time I have a pony I shall call it Spadix.
Anne McCaffrey also seems to be much better behaved when writing about a male lead. She didn’t even begin to slide into Mary Sue-isms, although he was possibly the least blokey male character I’ve seen in a novel in some time.
Oh, I’m on the look out for comfortable books I can read in between ploughing through chemistry papers at the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions? Bear in mind that I have a fondness for Anne McCaffrey, and a deep and abiding love for Rosemary Sutcliff.
Ideas?
