Bujold, Lois McMaster: The warrior's apprentice
Why didn't somebody tell me? Seriously, why? It starts a little slow and then around the time Miles is kind of accidentally recruiting himself a pilot I was lost and, well, why didn't somebody tell me? You all fail, you know that. You should have told me. Well, at least I finally know what to use the Amazon gift card I got for my birthday for...
Caine, Rachel: Ill wind
Hmmm. Maybe. Will try one more book in the series before deciding whether to go for the lot of them or drop it. I have to many books to read anyway...
Den hemmelige dal (The secret valley)
Science fiction short stories. Some good, some not. Mind you, the ballet-dancing three-legged aliens story was fun. And the parallel world Denmark accessed through experimental druguse.
*tilts head, considering* Hmmmm.
Leiber, Fritz: The big time
You know what the problem with old science fiction? It's not there isn't awesome science fiction stuff, it's that even when you can see that it might be trying to be progessive and stuff, offering you a fierce woman soldier and sex therapi and such like, then it still ends up feeling so, well, old-fashioned, and occasionally kind of creepy - and I'm not even talking about the Great Politics Mess Up produced nazis. I mean, the story is perfectly fine, even if I very quickly developed a dislike for the narrator, but, well, anyway...
Rice, Anne: Christ the lord - the road to Cana
I probably should stop reading AR, shouldn't I? It's just, I keep hoping for her to find her way back from crazy religion land. Mind you, she still manages to pull of a decent historical novel feel and putting the bits of canon together in a way that makes some sense, even if the main character is quite frankly boring. Of course, historical novels was always the lady's strong side, whether she's filling them with castratos, ghosts, vampires or sons of man.
Sagara, Michelle: Cast in shadow
Interesting world. Kind of seen it before with the story - young woman with mysterious potential etc. in fantasy universe etc. - but it's a promising start. I'm a little disappointed they didn't actually play more with the potential for a fantasy mystery novel, but maybe the next books in the series will delve into that?
Solanas, Valerie: SCUM manifesto
Surprisingly funny,this modest proposal. Not extremely funny, but funny.
