I love to reread her during the holidays when everything is quiet and still.

I have been trying to decide between re-reading <i>The Bards of Bone Plain</i> or <i>In the Forests of Serre</i>. <i>Bards</i> has a bit of a different setting, a setting that feels very distinctly McKillip but it has cars in it. And a princess who wants to be an archaeologist. So... maybe I already know which one I'm re-reading next? Also, that quote you pulled is one of my favourite quotes from any author anywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-50528432796750505942013-11-18T10:14:52.569-06:002013-11-18T10:14:52.569-06:00I have several of McKillip's books, this one i...I have several of McKillip's books, this one included, that I need to catch up on. I love how you describe her work as I feel very similar about it. I love that her books don't have to be HUGE to be wonderful and her lyrical style always wraps me up and takes me away. I really have no excuse, besides too many books to read, for not getting caught up with her. Carl V.

Some stories really need to be pared down - conciseness is an art too!Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.com
