pick106/150 This books was such an amazing surprise, far exceeding my expectations. In a future devastated by weapons of mass destruction, all disputes and wars were settled in single combat. The Lyceum was established to created the greatest warriors, the Grievar Knights. The author is a martial arts teacher, so the fights were very authentic and realistic. I loved the characters and the action, but also the mystery behind the mc's past.
pickA truly epic journey. I can hardly overstate my admiration for Gene Wolfe. This vast novel is so imaginative, expansive, and intriguing. Silk is a great protagonist, but the whole ensemble receives careful attention. Wolfe might be the best world builder ever. As satisfying, thought-provoking, and worth revisiting as a book can be.
Gene Wolfe is fascinated by merging personalities, by the preservation or transformation of one's consciousness when absorbed into another's.
After a big hiatus, I've embarked on reading the second half of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. I'm a huge Wolfe fan, but have been too busy to do much pleasure reading this fall. I'm only a hundred pages in, but the story is already accelerating in surprising ways--a Wolfe hallmark.
pickA tantalizing blend of technology and magic, Mirrorstrike starts with a dangerous dance between two lovers. Deception mixes with lust, love with betrayal and deadly intentions. All of it amidst the Winter Queen‘s court politics—cold, colder, freezing to the bone.
(There are also bits of Japanese Yuki-onna mythology mixed in, yay! I like my retellings varied.)
4.25/5

pickThe beginning of this #sciencefantasy Snow Queen #retelling is all sharp edges—the words, the emotions, the blades. I love the way this author uses language, the flair with which she chooses words and constructs her sentences, and her raw, nonjudgmental approach to the characters. Those aren't necessarily good people, but man, are they fun to watch.
4.0/5

pickWe meet the cast of The Locked Tomb once more—all of them messy and confusing as hell, yet strangely lovable. This time we‘re seeing the events through the eyes of Nona, a born-yesterday woman-child, who understands what‘s going on even less than we do, and it‘s funny, and sad, and terrible, and glorious.
Man, do I love this series.
