Books
I finished Not Flesh Nor Feathers by Cherie Priest. She is a very good writer -- and while I may have found Wings to the Kingdom to be slightly more satisfying, this was still an excellent read. One of the things she does is make her monsters real and alien. She also makes her human characters a lot more real -- mixed virtue and fault -- so that her work creeps out of the cardboard dimension toward life.
I am also on the fourth of Novik's Temeraire books. I have a feeling she should stop before she comes down with McCaffreyitis -- she is already pushing it. I will finish this one, but it's my last.
I have also put aside the Kim Harrison Witch books. Jenks was my favorite character, and it was not enough to carry me through the second book. Starting the third was just not gonna happen.
I have a friend who thinks he can tell Weber's writing from Ringo's in a collaboration. So let me put his speculation out here, and if anyone know the facts, please comment. He says that Weber wrote We Few from the start until they are "planning the attack", and from there on the work is Ringo's. Anyone agree? Disagree? Know for sure?
