Books 90-95.

90. Lisa Shearin, Armed and Magical.

Stupid, but entertaining.

91. Lilith Saintcrow, Night Shift.

Urban fantasy. Not stupid. The werewolf boy, however - let's just say it was looking very good until the werewolf, and then it still looked good, only less so.

Werewolves. I am sick of them.

92. Ann Aguirre, Grimspace.

Smart, well-paced science fiction - space opera? Anyway, good plot, good characterisation, and great props for tension.

93. Laurie J. Marks, Fire Logic.

Eh. Apart from the characters, who are interesting, I don't really see what this book has going for it.

94. Lynn Flewelling, Shadow's Return.

I've had a soft spot for the adventures of Alec and Seregil since I first picked up Luck in the Shadows. This latest installment is no different. I like it quite a bit.

95. Tanya Huff, Valor's Trial.

Good book.

Ha! I forgot there was a new Flewelling coming out. Guess I'm headed for the book store this weekend.

Glad I could remind you. :)

It struck me as typical Alec/Seregil parlous adventure! with boy angst!... but, you know, there are only four of those in existence, and it's a while since I read the last three, so I'm not entirely sure I'm justified in calling it 'typical'.

It ends on a teaser, just so you know. :)

Argh. I hate teasers. Please tell me she at least has a promise from the publisher to print the answer to the teaser.

Next one due out next year, afaik. :)
