Safe from the treacherous friend, the daring spark,
I finished The Subtle Knife today at dinner. It was just as good as the promise of the first book would have had me believe. The story opened up a lot, and now is no longer about a precious girl in an interesting alternate universe, but now spans 3 different parallel worlds, has a wide cast of characters, discussions of wars against God, the misuse of technology, the power of youth, all mixed together with a good amount of action and adventure. I’m enjoying this more and more and I am looking forward to the final book in the trilogy.
At the same dinner, I started reading Pandora By Holly Hollander by Gene Wolfe. It’s quite good so far.
