I read it years ago so will be fun to revisit, once I get the sequelsLegacy of Hereot sounds interesting. Please let us know what you think about it, when you finally get around to reading the novel.
I read Red Shift quite recently. It is a difficult work to get to grips with. In particular the dialogue is largely unattributed, making it difficult to understand who is saying what. At the very least, the reader needs to concentrate deeply while reading. Very little is explained explicitly. Garner is too good an author to have done all this accidentally, but I have to admit that whatever he was aiming for, it failed with me. I'll be interested in what you think of it.Got this today. Not yet read this author though I want to read The Owl Service and Red Shift. I think I borrowed Red Shift from the library years ago but didn't read it View attachment 123597

This is not weird! It's perfectly normal. I do it all the time if the book is really good.I know this may sound weird - it felt weird when I realised what I was doing - but I gave the book a big hug when I had finished it.
