Today I had 9 reservations to pick up from the library, due to the library being about to start charging £1 per reservation. I've started on A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan and, if you like, will let you know how I like it.
That also means I returned Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho, onto the Arbury Court library shelves, so if you're interested, now's a good time to grab it. It's set in a magical Georgian England, and follows the adventurer of said sorcerer, who is a freed slave struggling for acceptance in a conservative gentleman's club of magicians, and a young lady of unknown ancestry but great magical talent. Plus there are dragons. The tone is modern rather than period, but it doesn't seek to overlay modern morality, rather catches the spirit of the time.
