books 2007: Powers, by Ursula K. Le Guin / giving up on The Expected One
Oh, I love Le Guin. This book is third in a YA series of hers that I'm really enjoying. There's definitely some dark stuff in this book--the hero's sister gets raped and murdered and the man responsible goes unpunished because she's a slave girl--but I think this hero is the best one yet in this series. It's a really good series, and I like the recurring characters and themes.
I've spent the last few days reading The Expected One, by Kathleen McGowan. It's a total Da Vinci Code knockoff, which I knew when I bought it, but it's not compelling or even well written. I'm about halfway through and I could care less about the conspiracy theories or the main character or what startling revelations Mary Magdalene wrote in her super-secret Gospel. You know I don't give up on a book easily, but this just is not worth my time.
Hoping to cram in one more book before the new year!
