a_cubedIn our last episode I'd read these books before.
I liked the Greenwing and Dart quite a lot (hence reading up to date in the series, though I've skipped a couple of novelettes). I picked up the recommendation of these as fantasy detective and while they do have a bit of a mystery feel, they're not quite mysteries. Fun, though. Cozy-ish fantasy of manners (ish). They're set in a common multiple worlds with many of her other books which I might pick up at some point.
As I think I noted when I read the Finder series last year, Suzanne Palmer is our GoH at the local convention next month, so I wanted to read her award-winning Bots shorts before then.Halfway through the final Bots story just now. The three add up to a short novel length, I think. Maybe one more and there'll be a collection (these three are all in online magazines). I've got another of her shorts also on the list (Surf). After that I am thinking about The Principle of Moments or maybe Alastair Reynolds Merlin's Gun sequence of novellas.
