Recent Reading
- City of Bones, by Martha Wells; Tor, 1995. This tale is set in an
interesting post holocaust world (almost certainly not our own) where
Charisat, the Imperial city, rules a collection of city-states on the
edge of a great desert waste waste that was once a sea. It has a
number of interesting characters, a sense that there is more to the
world than this one story revealed (a good thing), and does not end
the easy way. It is an enjoyable fantasy that is not derived from any
of the obvious sources; well worth reading.
