Blood and Iron | Elizabeth Bear

About halfway through. The interaction between fae and mortal worlds (mainly America) with a good explanation of getting to the Western Isles from the New World. Slow going though, not helped by the e-book not differentiating clearly between one scene and the next that might be worlds away and with different protagonists.

humouress This one is a tangle of Irish, Celtic, Arthurian myth, legend and history which I only half remember. Can‘t seem to focus on it. Currently hovering around 5/10 (edited) 4y
humouress I don‘t know why but this one can‘t seem to hold my attention. Maybe it‘s because it‘s trying to talk in riddles so you play a guessing game but then they‘re not actually riddles but exactly what it says, if you see what I mean. So you do the work but then it‘s given to you and it‘s confusing rather than mystifying. 4y

Mehso-so

This book was....so much. Fairie, and Arthurian legend, and werewolves, and Celtic folklore, and dragons, and...SO MUCH.

I THINK I'll read the next one, if only to see if anything that happened in this book actually winds up making a difference.
