I finished off Dark As Day this morning, spending an hour and a half getting to the end. It was a good read, but it's a large, hardback book and as I'll be spending most of the day tomorrow flying across country and back on a C-12, I wanted to be finished with the big book so I could start a paperback. (Smaller books fit in my travel bag much better.) So, after hitting the library book sale yesterday, I decided on starting up The Drowning City by Amanda Downum. It was her first novel from back in 2009 and I hope it's good because I also picked up the sequel, The Bone Palace. They feature a female necromancer named Isyllt Iskaldur (I'm not a big fan of that name), and that alone made it worth the nominal expenditure (one dollar for both books) as I don't believe I've ever read anything with a necromancer protagonist before. I'm hoping this first novel makes me want to tackle the second one next; if not, I picked up seven other books at the sale (five of them from one author I've never read before - so fingers crossed there - and two others by an author I trust implicitly, but the latter's books are both hardcover so they're not optimal for tomorrow's trip) so I should (hopefully) have enough reading material to keep me busy for a while.
