Books
Susanne Clod Pedersen: Veulf
I think I like this better than the first (and I can definitely see why the new editions have just put them together as one book, the first in apparently a long series) - partly because Arnulf feels like he's growing up and is less of a brat, partly because the plot doesn't give him a lot of time to be a brat or any characters that would indulge that behaviour for a second. Not that the Jomsvikings are that good an environment (Toxic Masculinity 101, anyone?), but I suppose it's all part of growing up viking.
Joseph Fink & Cramer: Welcome to Night Vale
Hvad skoven skjuler: danske fantasynoveller
Niviaq Korneliussen: Homo sapienne
So, a short novel about the trials and tribulations of five young, queer people in modern day Greenland. Sounded better than it turned out to be. I mean, the idea is solid, it's just that I don't find young queer people having relationship dramas in original fiction more interesting than young not-queer people, so...

Raise your hand, if you think Archeth is going to be Empress within a year of the end of the novel.

Happy New Year. And what a disappointingly low number - *checks stats* - lowest since I started counting. What the hell am I doing wrong?
