[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 992159, member: 3649"] I've had a lot of time to read, lately... [I]Joust[/I] by Mercedes Lackey. Original setting, self-contained novel. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Two cultures are at war, and a young boy from the north is made a serf (lower than a slave) in the desert southlands. Both cultures use mounted warriors on dragons as scouts and combatants, though the southlands have many many more. The boy is taken by a dragon rider to serve as his 'dragon boy', the person who looks after the dragon. The youth comes to like both the dragon and her rider, but can't forget that they are essencially enemies. Very much an egyptian-like setting, with interesting bits about the dragons, their raising and training, and the life of the lowborn. [I]The Onion Girl[/I] by Charles de Lint. Newford setting, self-contained novel. Jilly Coppercorn has been struck by a car and lies partially paralysed in the hospital, comforted only by the fact that she can dream herself to the Otherworld and interact with the animal people and her friends Jack and Sophia. Who tried to kill her, and why would someone sneal into her studio and destroy all her fairie paintings? Jilly's backstory. [I]Tapping the Dream Tree[/I] Charles de Lint. Newford setting, short story collection. More Newford stories, some featuring the normal group of characters, some not. All good. Long novella at the end, [I]Seven Wild Sisters[/I]. [I]Someplace To Be Flying[/I] Charles de Lint. Newford setting, self-contained novel. When someone asked Raven why he created the sky, he just said that he needed someplace to be flying. War comes to Newford when Cody, Old Man Coyote, decides he wants Raven's pot... the pot that created the world. He's tried before to undo that first mistake, the one that created humans, but he only keeps screwing it up. So he's come up with a different idea: use it to destroy everything and start all over again... Crows and Cuckoos go to war, a girl looks for her not-so-imaginary playmate, the Crow Girls gallivant, and the down-and-outs of the Tombs can only hope to keep their heads. [/QUOTE]
