I’d also recommend: You and Me on Vacation, Squire and Nettle & Bone.

I probably wouldn’t recommend: Playing Doctor.

Cover thoughts: I read Squire because the cover caught my eye.

I figured since I’ve been complaining I should mention the contemporary books I have actually read and enjoyed so shoutout to Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry for being the only YA novel that came close to my actual experience of Catholic school. The Possibilities of Sainthood by Donna Freitas isn’t as much of a heavy hitter but I enjoyed it when I was in high school. From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan and Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira felt like they were written for me personally.

I know I’m an information professional but I swear I just typed the phrase “why is Christian fiction so bad” into duck duck go

December Book Reviews: One Night in Boukos by AJ Demas

This author was recommended by @profiterole-reads​, but most unfortunately I couldn’t get the specific book she mentioned on hoopla. Oh well, this was also excellent. The setting and tone reminded me rather of Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series-- it’s set in a Greece and Persia with the serial numbers barely filed off, and the MC is in a very Kamet-like position (slave and secretary to the pseudo-Persian ambassador). 

Anyway, the ambassador goes missing and his secretary and the captain of the guard have to track him down, retracing his steps before Drastic Political Consequences occur. Also, there are two romances in the secondary plot, which is the source of my one issue with this book-- the pacing is off, since the romance plot is not very well integrated with the main plot, and the characters implausibly prioritize the romance mid-book, rather than dealing with the pressing missing ambassador crisis. 

But yes, this was absolutely worth reading, and I shall track down more of this author’s work.

Sword Dance by AJ Demas

Sword Dance by AJ Demas was absolutely lovely. A disabled former soldier and a spy investigate a group of philosophers preparing a coup to restore "purity".

This is historical fantasy, as in there's no magic, but the story takes place in a fictional world based on Ancient Greece. The political intrigue reminded me of Nightrunner by Lynn Flewelling.

The spy is a genderfluid eunuch (he used to be a slave, but is now free) and there is major m/nb.

I'm definitely going to keep reading this series. Note for later: AJ Demas also publishes fantasy as Alice Degan.

Buku ini bisa dikatakan retells Alice in Wonderland. Bedanya, oleh sudut pandang Putri Dinah, Putri Kerajaan Hati. Putri Dinah mempunyai sifat egois, manja dan rasa ingin tau yang berlebih, serta sedikit sifat dari Ayahnya. Dari kecil, ia hanya diasuh oleh Harris dan Emily.

.

.

Ayahnya bengis, ditakuti oleh rakyatnya. Pun oleh anaknya. Raja Hati tidak pernah sekalipun bersikap baik pada anaknya sendiri, Putri Dinah. Lalu ada Charles, adik Dinah, si Mad Hatter. Dia kehilangan kewarasannya sejak lahir.

.

.

membaca endingnya, saya merasa, Dinah tidak mempunyai siapa pun dan tidak harus memercayai siapapun kecuali sosok laki-laki misterius yang menyuruhnya pergi. Banyak pertanyaan yang belum dijawab; siapa Vittiore? Apa hubungannya dengan Faina Baker? Bagaimana keadaan Wardley? Bagaimana keadaan istana? Masih banyak pertanyaan dan misteri yang belum terungkap. 

.

Membaca buku ini, merasakan deg-degan, biasanya seorang calon ratu kerajaan mempunyai sifat yang baik,anggun, menjadi contoh untuk rakyat nya, namun ini sebaliknya kita menemukan calon ratu kerajaan yang mempunyai sifat egois, dan manja , Tapi membuat penasaran juga kelanjutannya.

Books read in September

I had a moment of intense self-centredness and, internally, wailed: Why isn’t the world filled with more books that appeal exactly to me???��

I’ve concluded that it’s like I have an inner story-troll sitting inside me shouting: Tell me a story! I try to appease it by presenting it with books, one at a time, and seeing how it reacts. 

Favourite cover: Flyaway.

Reread: The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley. (I also reread From All False Doctrine at least twice.)

Also read: The Disastrous Début of Agatha Tremain by Stephanie Burgis and Snow Day by Andrea K Höst.

Still reading: The Time-Traveling Popcorn Ball by Aster Glenn Gray and The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett,

Next up: I have borrowed The Other Side of the Sky by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, Taking Down Evelyn Tait by Poppy Nwosu, and Between Silk and Cyanide: A Code Maker’s War, 1941-45 by Leo Marks. And maybe I’ll finally get around to The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams?

*

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakroborty (narrated by Soneela Nankani): I think this Middle East-inspired fantasy was just not the story I was in the headspace for -- it was longer, with more complicated worldbuilding and fewer answers. Possibly I’d have followed the political intrigue of Daevabad better had I read this in one gulp (I got halfway through the 20-hour-long audiobook before it was due back and I read other books before picking up the ebook). I liked the two protagonists, enough that I’m curious about what happens to them next, but the second book is 23 hours long and undoubtedly won’t resolve everything either. Maybe another day.

Tuyo by Rachel Neumeier: Ryo is left as a “tuyo” -- a sacrifice to be killed by an enemy -- as a sign that his tribe will withdraw from the Ugaro’s war with the Lau. But his captor doesn’t want to kill him, he wants Ryo to help him stop the war. Neumeier effectively creates tension between people who are polite, honest and honourable, and shows an intriguing relationship, defined by mutual respect, fealty and something more familial. There’s also some unusual magically-defying-physics-as-we-know-it worldbuilding but apparently I was far more interested in the character dynamics. I enjoyed this. Sequel, please?

From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan: My favourite book this year! Toronto, August 1925. Elsa Nordqvist, who hopes to write her MA thesis on a recently-discovered Greek manuscript, is at the beach with a friend when they meet two foster-brothers. This meeting deftly sets up everything which follows. The cover says “A Love Story” but this is also like a cross between a Golden-Age mystery novel and a fairytale retelling, with bonus academia and Anglicanism. I really like how much these characters value their friendships, their lively, intelligent and often honest conversations, and the way the romance unfolds. It also feels like a story written just for me and a hard one to review because my reaction has been very personal.

The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark (narrated by Julian Thomas): Set in the same city as A Dead Djinn in Cairo, this novella follows two agents from the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities as they investigate a possessed tram car. The world-building is vivid and cleverly, thoughtfully, imaginative. But, perhaps because of the mood I’m in and because this story isn’t interested in exploring the personal lives of its detectives, I have no feelings about this.

The Angel of Crows by Katherine Addison: Sherlock Holmes wingfic involving Jack the Ripper murders. Not what I’m looking for in a Holmes retelling. But I was sufficiently intrigued by something the author wrote. I really like Crow and Dr Doyle (arguably more than their original counterparts). My interest wavered a bit during the second half. It closely mimics the style and structure of the original mysteries in many ways and that’s not my favourite style. I wanted fewer cases to solve, and more of Crow and Doyle interactions. I liked the ending, enough to be glad that I hadn’t given up halfway through.

Making Friends with Alice Dyson by Poppy Nsowu: Australian YA. Alice plans to spend her final year of high school staying invisible and studying hard, but is thrown into the spotlight after someone posts a video of her dancing with Teddy Taualai. I loved how intensely this captures Alice’s emotions and perspective, and how the story explores that people have different emotions, perspectives and needs. Alice seems to me like someone who might be on the autism spectrum -- and whether or not that’s what the author intended, it’s great to see characters like her represented. I wish it had unpacked her relationship with her parents more, but that didn’t negate how much I enjoyed this. 

Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han (narrated by Laura Knight Keating): I can’t remember why, after I read To all the boys I’ve loved before and P.S. I still love you in 2017, I decided against reading the third book. It turned out to be my favourite. I loved it! I had a different experience of finishing high school and applying for university, but I find Lara Jean’s perspective intensely relatable: she has strong opinions about aesthetics; she’s nostalgic, introspective, stressed by uncertainty; she enjoys spending time at home with her family. I liked how this book captures her wonder at the intimacy of knowing another person well, and how, although she sometimes worries about their future, she has very few doubts about Peter himself. I haven’t come across very many YA novels in which a teenage girl is so secure being in a relationship. 

The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley:  After her sister dies, Eva stays with family friends in Cornwall, where she and Katrina spent summers years ago. I wasn’t expecting time-travel. I like time-travel stories, and I like how Kearsley handles it here. Eva’s choices make sense, given her situation, and the story emphasises that, even though she cannot control when she travels in time, there are still many choices she can actively make. So Eva becomes fascinated with 1715, because of the people she meets there and the relationships they develop... but I wanted to spend more time in the present-day Trelowarth, with its rose gardens and new tea room.

Flyaway by Kathleen Jennings: After she receives a mysterious note, nineteen year old Bettina flouts her mother’s rules for ladylike behaviour and embarks on a roadtrip with a couple of forgotten friends in search of her brothers, who disappeared three years ago. I loved some of the descriptions, especially seeing a rural Australian setting for this sort of fantasy. Jennings creates a wonderfully eerie atmosphere and the mystery kept me reading. However, the folktale parts of the story are dark, uncomfortably so. Very successfully Gothic, just ultimately not really my brand of Gothic.

The Duke Who Didn’t by Courtney Milan: There’s something so incredibly soft about this romance -- yet at the same time, it’s about two people who work fiercely towards their goals, worry about things, and are acutely aware of the discrimination they and other they love face as Chinese people in late 19th century England. Chloe and Jeremy’s relationship is characterised by banter and gentle teasing that reveals just well they know and accept and care about each other. Moreover, they have friends and relatives -- and a community -- who are supportive. I really enjoyed reading this and appreciated how low-angst it is.

The Threefold Tie by Aster Glenn Gray: Very tender. The characters convinced me that they were capable of communicating honesty with each other and making an unconventional relationship work. I liked the prose, which is no great surprise. 

Hamster Princess: Whiskerella by Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher): This time, adventure finds Harriet at home: her parents are throwing a masked ball so she can “meet some nice young princes without terrifying them”. But the princes are all preoccupied with a beautiful stranger, and Harriet is distracted by the mystery: who is this hamster, how did she get in without an invitation and what sort of magic is behind her glass slippers?  I think this is my favourite of Harriet’s adventures (so far). I loved the humour in this one.

Echo North by Joanna Ruth Meyer: When Echo finds her missing father unconscious and half-frozen in the woods, she is given a choice by the white wolf. A retelling of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” with elements from “Beauty and the Beast” and “Tam Lin” thrown in, this has so many things which appeal to me, including an unexpected and wonderful library. Yet I found it frustrating and slow; the prose and the characters are rather straightforward, and I predicted nearly all the twists (bar the finale). But I believe that this tale could delight a younger, or a less critical reader.

The Disastrous Début of Agatha Tremain by Stephanie Burgis: In the two years since she turned sixteen and dismissed her governess, Agatha has been free to disregard ladylike behaviour, studying the books in her father’s library and teach herself magic. But then her aunt arrives and insists upon Agatha making a social début. This novelette is another story that I suspect I’d like more if it had been longer, if some of its ideas had been expanded upon and some of the relationships been given more space to develop. Agatha’s aunt and her motivations were unexpected, and I wasn’t entirely comfortable or satisfied with how that was resolved.

Snow Day by Andrea K. Höst: This novelette takes place after the Touchstone trilogy, more specifically after In Arcadia. Two outsiders get to see Cass and her family on Snow Day, and reveal a bit about their upbringing on Kolar.  This feels very much like fanfiction which just happens to be written by the author. It is fun to see familiar characters through others’ eyes and the expanded worldbuilding is interesting, but as a narrative, it seemed somewhat incomplete. (Maybe she’s planning something more with these characters?)

[emjee]

have you come across the book From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan?? because i just saw a rec for it and a) want it and b) thought you might be into it. "Toronto, 1925: An ancient manuscript and a modern cult promise the secret to personal metamorphosis. An atheist graduate student falls in love with a priest. A shiftless musician jilts his fiancée and disappears. From All False Doctrine is a metaphysical mystery wrapped in a 1920s comedy of manners"

holy CRAP nonny I have not heard of this book but based on this blurb and the last line of the blurb on the kobo site (“The question is, can their combined resources of Classical scholarship and Anglo-Catholic liturgy save a man from himself?”) it sounds like I need to read this book IMMEDIATELY, thank you so much for seeing that and going “you know who needs to hear about THIS?”

December Book Reviews: From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan

This one was recommended through Rachel Neumeier’s blog, and also indirectly via a rec for Degan’s pen name AJ Demas. Mixed feelings about this one again. On the one hand, I loved the first half of the novel. It’s set in 1925 Toronto, with lovely witty dialogue and characters written like a Vermeer painting, all grave illumination. It’s strongly in the line of Sayers’ Gaudy Night thematically and even prose-wise, and there is no higher praise. It has a little of Wodehouse and a little of Jo Walton’s Lent. 

But. This was fundamentally a story about a character’s conversion to Anglicanism, as I realized abruptly halfway through. And the metaphysics of the world and even the villain were fundamentally religious. I’m an atheist and this made me deeply uncomfortable, for some of the same reasons sex scenes used to-- the characters obviously feel this emotion very intensely and I don’t understand it at all. Also, there’s something about using actual Christian villains as your narrative villains-- the writer seems to be relying on a religious background to make them sinister, but to me they’re like curiously unconvincing stage scenery. I have the same problem with Faust-- Mephistopheles is remarkably unsinister as the Devil.

Ah well. This really was an excellent book. It has curiously sinister cults, classics majors, and an unconvincing secretary. Recommended with reservations. I’ll certainly be reading more of Degan, though.
