144-145. Dave Duncan, Children of Chaos and Mother of Lies
Entertaining, if not particularly so.
146. Mike Shepherd, Kris Longknife: Intrepid
Brainless, but very entertaining.
147. Kelley Armstrong, Living With The Dead
I'm not as fond of Armstrong's books as I used to be, but this one is still okay light entertainment.
148. Celine Kiernan, The Poison Throne
An Irish author, with a YA debut. The milieu is not exactly medieval Europe, the characters are very real, and Wynter's growing struggle to define the right thing to do in her situation is deeply compelling.
149. Jo Walton, Half a Crown
Excellent. Atmospheric. Marvellous. Note-perfect.
150. Guy Gavriel Kay, Ysabel
I understand why it won the World Fantasy Award. It is goddamn bloody good. Seriously.
