The Stone Boatmen by Sarah Tolmie

[james_davis_nicoll]

It is a sad truth that a life spent reviewing books, particularly genre fiction, particularly fantasy, involves reading a lot of terrible books. Worse, reading variations of the same terrible book, over and over. There is a benefit, which is that a gem of the first water like Sarah Tolmie's The Stone Boatmen stands out against the rest that much more.

Thanks for the review. While short, it was enough to make buy a copy.

Likewise!

Is that a pic of the university of Waterloo? Looks like it's been dumped in the middle of a wilderness...

It certainly looks like UW in its early days, although I wouldn't quite call the Brubaker farm a wilderness.

It's the most recent photo of it that I have in my easy possession, the view off our back porch.

Is there any way to make comments at the new site?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Yes. Open the specific review and there should be a comment section below the review.

It is possible that certain ad-blocking and/or tracker-blocking software (such as Ghostery) will block LiveFyre. The easiest way to fix that is to whitelist the site.

Funny. I don't see it. There's a link to the LiveFyre site, but no obvious place to leave comments, even after I turned my scripts on.

[awesomeaud.livejournal.com]

Oh wait. There it is! I guess there was still one script that was off.

Thanks! Have added to the list.
