Recent Reads/GGK Book Club: A Song for Arbonne

[mizkit]

I just finished A SONG FOR ARBONNE, which was May’s GGK Book Club book. (I’m working on catching up! I bet I’ll be almost caught up by the end of the year! :))

I’ve been kind of interested in re-reading SONG, because I’ve only read it once and it didn’t, er, sing to me, as it were. It’s the one GGK book I’ve never had any particular interest *in*

One of the problems, I think, is that it has a hanging character. I can't remember her name at this point -- it's years since I read it. But there's a young woman who we follow through the book who does very little except observe and has no plot resolution. It also read very fake mediaeval to me, but GGK doesn't work for me as I see the bones too easily and don't find he does enough to make his version special.
