I finished reading The Steampunk User Manual. Interesting. More of a retrospective at this point.
Started Dead Witch Walking, The Hollows book1, a series about Rachel Morgan and Jenks the pixie.
Not sure what I think of it yet. The dialogue gets a bit confusing between characters in the scene. It's like the author tried to cram in exposition with a sub-conversation in the middle of a scene.
I'm not far in. She just succeeded at her opening mission. I'm not sure what the Story Question is, other than can Rachel Morgan improve her standing at work or strike out on her own.
I need to expand my intake of Urban Fantasy, since I'm writing a sci-fi take on the genre. The wife owned it on the kindle so here we are.
Hopefully the writing will smooth out so I can get into reading mode instead of editor mode. (as a note, the issue I'm seeing is a developmental problem, not copyediting aka typos). I wanted to get a feel for how other writers in this genre inject description, because that's something I'm a bit light on.
Anyway, this is a case of reading for "work" rather than relaxation.
