I haven't tried either of the series that you mention, but I am going to look them up on Amazon right now. I really want to read Jo Walton's series on an alternate WWII, so maybe Moorcock's book series would work well in conjunction with that.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-87626489686300341782012-05-29T08:48:53.252-05:002012-05-29T08:48:53.252-05:00Why have I never heard of this??

They sound wonderful.<br /><br />Btw, have you tried Michael Moorcock's Between the Wars series (begins with Byzantium Endures) and Sophia McDougall's Romanitas series? They're alternative history novels too. I haven't started on Moorcock's book but I really enjoyed Romanitas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-73024736263071506632012-05-25T17:45:21.546-05:002012-05-25T17:45:21.546-05:00Well, it's an alternate universe, so who knows...Well, it's an alternate universe, so who knows what happened to nomenclature!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-86060978607928987302012-05-25T13:08:49.728-05:002012-05-25T13:08:49.728-05:00Hm..had the name evolved to Darcy then?

I love that magic is way of life in these tales, and that there is precedent to back them up. I also tend to love worldbuilding, so what might annoy other readers would just charm the pants off of me. I need to look into these short stories, and the novel as well. Your review has done them incredible justice. Can you tell I am really excited about these books? Nice job with this review. I must follow up on these books and find out more!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
