Reading

[msagara]

The new Guy Gavriel Kay novel -- the ARC, at any rate -- arrived yesterday.

Ysabel is a contemporary fantasy set in Provence, and I loved it. I will say nothing more about it then that, except this: I recognized two names, when I had hit page 366, which made me smack the wall -- with my head -- in order to better align the remaining fragments of what might be called intelligence. For me, the book would have read differently* to that point had I actually, you know, caught the obvious when it was introduced. I love it when reading reminds me that I'm stupid.

* in this case, different = better, but betterly is not a word

me == green with envy.

When is it supposed to hit bookstores? In a year or so?

By coincidence, I started re-reading A Song for Arbonne this morning.

Words cannot contain my envy re Ysabel (although, you know, I'd be just as asquee at the prospect of a preview of House War...*g*).
