Another literary note

Jul 02, 2009 11:27

I was telling a friend about a book I was reading, and couldn't remember the name, or the complete list of authors, so before I turn it back in:  "Duainfey" by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller (I can ALWAYS remember the Miller part!  *laugh*).  It's a little bit Jane Austen meets the fairies; I thought it was a good read, but really should have been part of a larger work, because the ending was just the intro for the NEXT book in the series, and the only plot was "girl discovers she's been had, in service of a bigger plot."  Presumably, we see more of that bigger plot later.  Possibly they can't publish lengthy tomes any more (and Jaqueline Carey argues against that thesis), but that's what it felt like--the first half (or less) of the real story, chopped off and dropped into a cover.

I'll still pick up the next one(s).
