Les Semaines May 29, 2011: May is Slipping Away

[neile]

This May has been April-wet and changeable. We've raced through it, covered in cat hair and watching things bloom and get washed away in rain then shine in sun. Outside my study window right now the white lilac is in full bloom, bringing birds to nosh on the insects it attracts

Two jobs is plenty for the summer! Hope you get lots of writing done.

Thanks--and in August my only job is writing. Heaven!

I hope you also have a delightful and productive summer.

What did you think of Eona? I felt pretty let down but wasn't sure if it was just me hating that bad-boy-good-boy love triangle setup.

I didn't think it was quite as wonderful as Eon but really enjoyed reading it.

I didn't see it as a bad-boy-good-boy love triangle because I didn't for an instant believe she could really love the bad boy. I read it entirely as how seductive psychopaths can be when they want something, and how easily someone who really should know better (but is young) can fall for evil because both good and evil aren't pure and ideal and what you might hope they would be. And I really liked that.

Sometime I will re-read them both and be more critical, but right now I was just happy at how above the average they were as a duology.
