Outside of a Dog

Tak! reviewed Library of Broken Worlds

No rating

The Library of Broken Worlds was overall very dense and abstract for my taste. It reminds me a little of The West Passage in that respect, although it has a more serious and scifiy bent.

I feel like it picked up significantly around the halfway point, when the events in the flashbacks became more plot-oriented and the connections between the flashbacks and the god started to be revealed.

Overall, I enjoyed the out-thereness of the setting, but the book was not for me.

They didn’t understand that a creature like you, who had constructed such a fantasy of his ideal woman, wouldn’t even want a real one.

Ever since she was a child, Amnandi Khumalo, daughter of one of the most respected …

5 stars

Amnandi Sails was a great followup to Breath, Warmth, and Dream - lots of searavens, merpeople, adventure, and an epic quest

Amnandi and crew have matured and developed, and there are plenty of new faces to complement the familiar

Great writing, great story, I'm looking forward to the next one

The young woman, at times described as a wash of colors seeking rest, at times a stone soul, at times a witch, reached into a pocket of timespace, pulled her small journal from its air, and wrote while curtains of raindrops cooled the open space under her family’s covered patio.

Zig Zag Claybourne: Breath, Warmth, and Dream

5 stars

Breath, Warmth, and Dream was great!

I was a little concerned in the prologue, because it was written a little … enthusiastically for my taste, but it quickly settled down into a cozy-yet-dark fantasy in a novel setting.

My main (extremely minor) gripe is that the main protagonists are - definitely not one-dimensional, but maybe too perfect.

Anyway, go read Breath, Warmth, and Dream!
