Feb. 16th, 2013 11:32 pm• What are you currently reading?
Deliverer. I had expected this reread to go faster. I think we're at a point now where Bren isn't growing so much, which is disappointing, though I can hardly ask for more plot than Dramatic Kidnappings and Pursuit. Still love Jago, really enjoying Cajeiri.
• What did you recently finish reading?
HOLY SHIT SKIP BEAT JUST GOT SEXY
I was worried it was rapey for a minute, but no, it immediately became okay. (Well, Shou still needs to get his ass kicked, but that's not new. Darker scarier Ren is still not someone I have to hate, and Kyoko is doing fine managing him.) The author's sidebars were sheer wibbling for those chapters, and I can sympathize. How did she get away with that in a shoujo magazine?
Also the best Skip Beat fic ever, yet again, although I now feel it has been rendered noncanonical because of not accounting for the o'erweening sexy. Possibly not, though; I almost feel like I am more traumatized than Kyoko was.
Chrysanthe was only just interesting enough to finish for magic-geeking's sake. I didn't care about any of the people, and the ending was completely unsatisfying.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
Well, I just got this new novel by Justina Chen (formerly Justina Chen Headley), so I think that's bedtime reading now. Plus there's a PM Press collection by Nalo Hopkinson. More atevi are a given, of course.
