Yo, brain trust?
Out of curiosity, has anyone out there read Karen Miller's "Innocent Mage" trilogy, also known as the "Kingmaker, Kingbreaker" series?

I'd never heard of her, but her latest series launch, Empress, showed up in the mail yesterday, so I started reading it last night when I finished the book I'd been reading. My first impression was that it reminded me of Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel books, in that the writing style instantly annoyed me, but the characters instantly intrigued me. It also instantly reminded me of Richard Adams' Maia. I'm going to stick with it for a bit and see where it goes, but I'm curious what other people think of her. You know, people who actually keep up with what's going on in the fantasy field these days, and don't come around to stuff like the Carey books five years later than anyone else.

Well, it's finally happened.

A commentor at the A.V. Club site has accused me of turning the A.V. Club into an A.V. Club of lies. I guess it was only a matter of time.

I'd suspect it was one of ya'll, except that it was in response to a group-written piece, and there was no way anyone could have known I was the one writing that particular entry.

It's just funny to me that that accusation follows me wherever I maun gae.

I'm-a feelin': resigned
