Books 2012: 50-54
50. Juliet McKenna, Dangerous Waters. Solaris, 2011.
I'm to review this for SH, together with its sequel, which I'm not finished reading. So for now I'll say only I've been "meh" on McKenna's work since midway through her first series, and while Dangerous Waters has some good points, it hasn't changed my feelings.
51. Sherwood Smith, Banner of the Damned. DAW, 2012. ARC.
Review forthcoming from Tor.com. It has some flaws, but I enjoyed it a lot.
52-54. Sherwood Smith, The Fox, King's Shield, and Treason's Shore. DAW, sometime last decade.*
Last three books in the Inda quartet. Entertaining epic fantasy with lots of battles on land and sea. (Thank you, ebooks that I can actually purchase and are not region-locked.) Not the most innovative books in the world, but solidly engaging.
*What? I'm tired. Not going to look them all up.
