I can has "Turn Coat"!
Apr. 8th, 2009 05:03 pmI'm on my way back from a trip to the Burlington Barnes & Noble, where I just picked up the much-anticipated Book 11 of The Dresden Files! Granted, I've already read the first five chapters when they were posted to Jim Butcher's website, but the story is so dang good, it was worth re-reading them a second time (not counting the podcasts which featured Jim reading those first five chapters aloud). I'll take care not to spoil it too much, but I'll say these two things:
One, the universe is getting darker, almost in a World of Darkness kind of way (or it could just be resonating with me more since I've been reading the Mage: the Ascension/the Awakening sourcebooks lately).
And two, the dedication for this book is touching, and a good example of how much Jim has an ear open to what's going on among the fans on his forum.
Also got a very odd new release: "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame Smith". This got discussed on the JB forum, plus I'd seen it get a top review in "Entertainment Weekly", so the Jane Austen fan and the fantasy fan in me got very curious. I'm told if you like "Pride and Prejudice" and you also like zomedies like "Shaun of the Dead" (or even if you're fond of one but not the other), you'll find it hysterical.
