Waiting for the last few books on my to-read list to come in. Open to suggestions, particularly for more recent books.

I cannot recall who asked me to read the Rational Harry Potter but it has defeated me. May I review something else?

The McKillip might be interesting. I thought the mix of fantasy and modern day didn't fully jell, but there were a number of things I liked about it. And I did really appreciate her doing something new, as I have felt a lot of her 21st century stuff has been hoeing the same turf and using the same tricks.

I liked the story overall and enjoyed how she blended fantasy with modern elements. The story itself felt too short and choppy, one particular element seemed to add no value to the story at all and the point of the last line still eludes me.

I very much liked about 90 % of Kingfisher, but I thought the last bit, where the various threads were supposed to come together and be resolved, fell apart instead. Not so much a case of not sticking the landing as getting ones feet tangled in the uneven parallel bars and doing a faceplant that might require a medical check.

Oh good, it wasn't just me then!
