It was mostly waffle, along with a bit of an attempt to review said books, and me wondering why I'm reading Tamora Pierce and thinking, She's good, but not nearly complicated enough. :-)

I was recommended her years ago by a mad Potter-fan I used to know. I only picked up Trickster's Choice yesterday. Have you read anything by her, by any chance?

No, I hadn't gotten around to reading her stuff yet -- seen the books, looked at them, and moved on. Maybe I'll see if the library has them.

The two I've read so far have been pretty okay, in a YA-aimed fashion. Her website, http://www.tamora-pierce.com/about, has a good few excerpts, so.

Oops, forgot my .htm: http://www.tamora-pierce.com/about.htm. Livejournal, when are you getting an 'Edit Comments' feature?

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they need that editing thingie.
