It's me! Hurrah!
Can't remember when I started...maybe back at the end of April? I started going through The Wheel of Time series. I've been reading, finishing, ordering the next one and then waiting for it to turn up and then rinse and repeat. Recently finished book nine but haven't quite got the spare funds for the next one for a while longer so.....
I picked Sheri S. Tepper's The Awakeners off my shelf. Both Northshore and Southshore are included in this, and I like the prospect that that's it for the 'series' (duology?) I felt that the book could have easily begun with fishing the Blighted woman out of the river so we knew exactly what the story was, but -- and this is a shocker coming from me -- I'm really loving all the detail she's put into her world. I loved the little moment where two people realised the faces of the three gods were Flier faces, it just threw things into a much wider scope just in a couple of brief lines. My tastes must be changing in my old age.
