<br />
In my reading so far this year, I have given two 8 out of 10 ratings. That makes it a good reading year, so far. For comparison, a 10 out of 10 would be Nabokov's, _Lolita_, or Winterson's, _The Passion_. So I am giving high praise.<br />
<br />
I am not making the effort to give real reviews here. Just a few comments. Valente is once again brilliant. With _Fairyland_ and _Deathless_ she has gotten downright linear. The language and description are lush and beautiful as ever, though not quite as wildly weird as the previous novels I have read. And the plot is still like a jewelry setting, it is there to hold up and display the jewels about life an humanity that are embedded in it. There is no rushing to a cathartic climax or ultimate revelation.<br />
<br />
I recently heard someone say about a book, "I loved it and I didn't finish it." I kind of feel that way about Valente's books. I have finished most of them that I have started, but it wasn't required, and I think at some point I almost put down all of them before the end.<br />
<br />
She writes lovely books that look at life with an unflinching lack of sentimentality, yet are gorgeous and humane. <br />

<br />
I read about half of this book. It is completely OK, which is the problem. Too many other books I want to give a try to finish one that is just OK. I enjoyed the first section, in the desert, but it is too meandering once they reach the city. I like the two protagonists, though.<br />
<br />
If it was a quick read I might stick with it, but it is not. That's not a bad thing in itself. _Among Others_ was slow, and it was fabulous. This one starting to feel like a slog, though. Moving on. I've got Valente's, _Deathless_, waiting for me at the library.<br />
<br />
I read at least half of it, so I'm counting it as a +1 towards my goal of reading more books by women than by men in 2012.Josh Gentryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02755754490724080605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341026.post-6952103449222861182012-01-22T22:46:00.000-08:002012-01-24T14:02:13.823-08:002012 Book 5 -- Among Others, Jo Walton8 out of 10<br />
<br />
Really, really enjoyed it. I should say more, but its hard to explain why its so good. My favourite depiction of magic. Utterly charmed by the protagonist. She's signing here in Albuquerque on the 26th!<br />
<br />
The author is a woman, so this is a +1 for my resolution that over half the books I read this year will be written by women<br />

<br />
Really enjoyed the first half. Took a bit of a dive after that for me. Being introduced to the sociopath trying not to become a killer, was interesting, and damn it was funny. Him hunting the monster in the second half of the book didn't work as well for me. Who the monster was was disappointingly predictable, but the back story of the monster was pleasantly surprising. Also liked the bond between the protagonist and the monster.<br />
<br />
But, the way it finished, where it left the protagonist, I'm not sure I'm going to pick up the second book in the series.<br />
<br />
Count so far: Women authors 2, Men authors 2Josh Gentryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02755754490724080605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341026.post-88444005663587876312012-01-08T14:24:00.000-08:002012-01-08T14:24:58.805-08:002012 Book 3 -- Shotgun Gravy / Chuck WendigRating: 6 out of 10<br />
<br />
The character voices in this novella are brilliant. That's what most of the positive rating rests on. It has a decidedly pulp sensibility, which might account for the escalation in violence that I couldn't quite buy. In the end, it was a little too grim, no win, for me.<br />
<br />
Again, I enjoyed the novella length. This might be a sweet spot for ebooks for me.<br />
<br />
I have pre-ordered Wendig's, _Blackbirds_, out later this year. I am hoping that the same brilliance of voice is there, and that the book has a plot I find more satisfying. <br />

<br />
It might work for you; didn't work for me. Really wanted to like it. Seemed like it was moving towards an interesting mindf*ck plot. I never started to care.<br />
<br />
Although I didn't finish it, I gave it a good try, so I'm giving myself a +1 towards my goal of over 50% of the books I read in 2012 being by women authors.Josh Gentryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02755754490724080605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341026.post-84367956118285793072011-12-31T23:33:00.000-08:002011-12-31T23:33:05.686-08:002012 Book 1, The Strange Case of Finley Jayne / Kady Cross5 out of 10<br />
<br />
<br />
Description from Amazon:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. </blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://amzn.com/B004WEKR1W">The Strange Case of Finley Jayne</a> was fun, which I believe was its main goal. The characters you were supposed to like were charming, and it was easy to root for the protagonist. Moved briskly, lots of action. Not a lot of internal dialogue or angst. I enjoyed the length. I can see how ebooks might be bringing back the novella. All to the the good.<br />
<br />
The villain was a bit lackluster. The prose was sometimes clumsy, and the book lacked any pretense at subtlety. I felt the steampunk element was a gimick. The mad science that is important to the plot is an older, non-steam cliche. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of the book I noticed it was published by Harlequin Teen. I believe that is the first Harlequin book I have read. The author is a woman, so this is a +1 for my resolution that over half the books I read this year will be written by women. OK, I'm cheating slightly. I started this a couple days before 2012. Hang me.<br />

She's not a "new" writer, she's a veteran, but new to me this year. She writes contemporary <a href="http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/002167.html">hard boiled</a> fiction with female protagonists. And she rocks it. Her work has a pulp sensibility that is fun as hell, and at the same time avoids cliche and gives us very human characters.
