What I've Read:

War for the Oaks by Emma Bull

Billed as the first urban fantasy novel and rather a nice example of the genre. You can tell by some of the tone/attitudes that it was written in 1987 but OH MAN you can also tell by the delightfully detailed outfit descriptions. It's like a babysitter's club description of Claudia!

Fuck everything I wrote some gorgeous reviews for these books and then LOST MY DRAFT.

ANYWAY.

Things I've Read Since Last I Posted

City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

This has a feel quite a lot like The City and The City, as @northern said.

Years ago, the city of Bulikov wielded the powers of the Gods to conquer the world. But after its divine ( Read more... )

Killer of Enemies by Joseph Bruchac

I'd seen/heard of this book but when I saw that it was on the Mythopoeic list for Children's/YA fiction for this year I was sold!
