hawkwing_lbBooks 2011: 60-65
60. Kevin Hearnes, Hounded.
Interesting, well-done urban fantasy of the Celtic flavour set in Arizona, featuring a two-thousand-year-old druid and the sword Fragarach. The Irish mythology bits were largely enjoyable rather than irritating, and the conclusion had more than sufficient kaboom to be satisfying.
61. Suzanne McLeod, The Cold Kiss of Death.
Moderately entertaining, but I am officially done with sexy vampires.
62-65. Catherine Asaro, Catch the Lightning, Diamond Star, The Ruby Dice, and The Final Key.
Asaro's science fiction novels are interesting, but they're a little too focused in the tradition of the science fiction romance for my preferences. (The Final Key isn't, but Catch the Lightning definitely is, and the other two are divided in their focus.)
Nonetheless, I find them entertaining.
Rereads:
The rest of Asaro's Skolian Imperialate SF, bunches of David Weber's Honor Harrington books. The Honor Harrington books' techsposition does not get less annoying with exposure.
I'm doing somewhat better than last week. Which is definitely something. It'll be a while before I'm properly back in harness, though.
