2010 Book 53: Green

[talekyn]

Book 53: Green by Jay Lake, isbn 9780765321855, 368 pages, Tor, $26.95

I've read several of Jay Lake's short stories. What I usually like about his work is how the sense of place and the sense of character are equally important, how neither aspect overwhelms the other, and how both combine to move the plot forward.  Green is the first of Lake's

Thanks for that. FYI, there are several short stories floating around from other POVs - "A Water Matter" (tor.com) featuring the Dancing Mistress, and "Coming For Green" (THE SKY THAT WRAPS) about Samma from the Lily Blades.

I will look for both of those!

Not my most coherent review, probably could have used a good read-through and edit before posting, but I finished the book a week ago and wanted to finally get the review up before departing on this business trip.

Sounds good to me! I'll need something to read after The Starter and it is available at the library.

And Jim, Jay is from Portland and has done signings at Powell's.
