Cobra Trap by Peter O’Donnell. A series of short stories covering different times in the life of Modesty Blaise for which I have much, much love.
Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Atrocious. Unreadable, desperately in need of a good editor. I can forgive a lot and I know the author is very young but something like this making it into print just hurts.
Girl Genius (01 - 06) Agatha Heterodyne by Kaja and Phil Foglio. Graphic Novels. The ongoing adventures of Agatha Heterodyne, a young scientific genius in a World Gone Mad! Adventure! Romance! Mad Science! This is gorgeous. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is amusing, interesting and self-aware and I am utterly in love.
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip. Rich in mythology and wizardry with fabulous beasts and a deceptively simple plot. Sybel is a powerful wizard, content to live apart from the rest of humanity with her menagerie of fantastic beasts. Her solitude is rudely destroyed when a young man delivers a baby, which she learns to love and she is slowly drawn into worldly conflicts.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, Issue 10 by Joss Whedon. Still maintaining the humour element, very fond of Xander.
