Ah, yes, I did like it. And some day you should check out her others, STAY and THE BLUE PLACE. Not SF, but a very cool kick-butt heroine that isn't over the top like a lot of urban fantasy chicks.

I've got AMMONITE that I may read next year. I thought her others though were more crime novels that SF or urban fantasy?

[tcastleb]

Mmm. Suspense, maybe, but the action is secondary to the character and her development. They're not SF/F, but they're worth reading for a way to do good urban kick-butt heroines.

Cool. Thanks for the rec. :)

Darn you for making me curious about yet another book... ^-~ You're incredibly good at that. *adds it to her list of books to look into*

I loved Slow River when I read it. Just very interesting structure. I was waiting to see how it all tied together and luckily, it did in a very nice way. Glad to see you enjoyed it as well.

Gosh, I didn't know she'd written any SF other than Ammonite. Might try and check this one out, you make it sound very interesting.

She has also written SFnal short stories, some of which you can read online on her website: http://www.nicolagriffith.com/fiction.html
