hawkwing_lbBooks 2012: 179
179. Jim C. Hines, Libriomancer. DAW, 2012.
I started Libriomancer last night, intending to read a few pages and put it down - for I knew I had to get up in the dark this morning. Despite my resolution, though, I kept reading through to the end. Libriomancer is a geek's book. A skiffy-reader's joy, an entertaining rollercoaster: perhaps a little self-indulgently genre-referential, but easy to forgive. I will say I was worried about the dryad, briefly... but I should've trusted Hines. The man's got good form.
An excellent book, well-characterised, occasionally funny with surprising moments of depth. Definitely recommended.
