Review of 'Peacemaker' on 'Goodreads'

An exciting conclusion to the fifth trilogy! Cajeiri finally gets his birthday party. Shenanigans in the guild are discovered and resolved.

The brief history of the aishidi'tat at the end is really helpful to sort out all the politics of the previous books. A nice summary.

Review of 'Intruder (Foreigner # 13)' on 'Goodreads'

Cajeiri is so eight. And I kept waiting for a scene like Miles' dinner party to happen and it didn't (mostly) thank goodness.

Jo Walton: Lifelode, Second Edition (2011, NESFA Press)

Review of 'Lifelode, Second Edition' on 'Goodreads'

This was in my bag of books at world fantasy con 2014. It's hard to describe. It's very atmospheric, languid.

It's fantasy if it were told by the chatelaine, if the chatelaine were also the manor house. I'm glad I read it, but it's the kind of book you really have to be in the mood for.
