Salut?...
It's been ages since I've posted anything here - I've kinda been neglecting my dear lj recently aside from its handy French communities. But I'm bored at work and excited about books, so...
City of Glass is finally out!
I was killing time in the university bookstore today when I saw it being put out of the shelves, and swiftly snatched it out of the hands a somewhat bemused employee. It's ridiculous to be so excited by a book that I don't even expect to be that good (and especially for the third in a series that I barely remember the plot of) but Cassandra Clare once wrote HP fanfic and her work is decent urban fantasy, if a bit cliche at times. So yay. Hopefully I can find time to finish it this week XD
I also ordered Banewreaker from Borders last week, and am just starting chapter three.
And yes, it is fantastic. The prose so far is standard Jacqueline Carey, by which I mean grandiose, epic and entirely delectable. Now the story is getting started properly I can't wait to finish it, although the idiot who wrote its blurb should be shot; it makes the novel sound like the worst type of derivative blather yet three chapters in I can't wait for more.
Now if only Isobelle Carmody would hurry up and write Darkbane I could finally die content.
