Which might color the reading experience a bit.

I’m not in-love with that cover, but it certainly comes closer to catching the essence of the book that people are reading it for.

(I mean, what’s up with that wizard doing tricks for some Pilgrim women?)

It’s rather disheartening to hear that they’re as difficult to get through as this one.

Which says to me that there’s more gay content in the later ones, and that perhaps the writing also improves. I won’t hold my breath on the last part, but the first part may make it worth it.

I’ve had trouble reading other Melissa Scott books even though they keep coming up on lists or in discussions. I have tried Trouble and Her Friends and Shadowman, I think probably without finishing either, not sure. I own more. And it looks like she also wrote a ST VOY tie-in. That may be easier to read, but also less likely to have any quiltbag content.

Heh, Amazon tells me I have also bought her nonfiction book on writing. Nearly 12 years ago. (Srsly? Amazon was around 12 years ago?! I’m old.)

But I think I agree with it. :)

Well, that’s pretty cool. And while I’m sure it’s not anything worth writing home about, I admit to a certain curiosity now.

Should anyone else be curious, here’s the Wikipedia entry

]]> Comment on Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden by j http://www.flaminggeeks.com/tripletake/2012/08/16/jun/tomorrow-when-the-war-began-by-john-marsden/comment-page-1/#comment-1356 j Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:21:16 +0000 http://www.flaminggeeks.com/tripletake/?p=1804#comment-1356 I cannot disagree with you!

There’s good/interesting romance, and then there’s annoying teenage romance. I don’t quite know what differentiates the two, but I know it when I see it.

I noticed an error right at the top now. Frederik Pohl’s name is not Joe Frederik Pohl. :)
