Books 2009: 96-97
96. C.S. Forester, Hornblower and the Atropos.
Nelson's funeral, a sloop of twenty-two guns called the Atropos, Turks, diving for treasure, sea-faring action.
You know. That kind of thing.
97. Celine Kiernan, The Crowded Shadows: Book 2 of the Moorehawke Trilogy.
As I said when I read the first book, The Poision Throne, this is rather darker than your average run of young adult book. But it pulls it off quite excellently. Solid characterisation, strong plot, a robust and workmanlike approach to language: I look forward to the final book in the trilogy.
Lately, my head hurts. Quite a lot. I wish it didn't. I wish I could write again.
