Ooooh. This one sounds good. I may need to pick it up when I'm ready to buy more books.

Yup, pretty good, though I wish it had been a bit longer.

I think I may have read one or two in junior high, but this and Atrix Wolfe are my first to read and remember.

Have you read the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy by her yet?

Not yet, no.

I really enjoyed this one. I read when I was working my way through the Mythopoeic Award Winners.

I should check out that list one of these days. It's just that acclaimed stuff and award winners and I have a rocky history.

I don't usually do well with award winners, but this is a really great list. I have yet to be disappointed by a book on here.
