Wednesday reading
I'm on a lot of meds right now-- antibiotics have been added to the mix!-- and not really feeling suitable for human activity. I had a quiet day.
Recently Finished
Crucible of Gold by Naomi Novik. I liked this a lot! A return to form after the Australia one (which was boring); this Temeraire novel is a page-turner. Temeraire, Laurence, Iskierka, Granby, and company venture to South America to attempt to treat with the Inca, and later with Portuguese colonials. I appreciate how Laurence's views get challenged, how different cultures have different systems of dragon-human relations, and I especially liked a spoilery thing concerning a character. It was nice to read a fast-paced, fun novel.
Reading
Blood of Dragons by Robin Hobb. The last of the Rain Wilds books. I just started this one, and expect to enjoy it. It picks up right where the last one left off. Hobb is especially good at character-based conflict and emotional character growth, sometimes to an almost painful degree. I appreciate that there are gay characters in this series, although so far they are all men.
