Just finished Foxglove Summer and Tam Lin would have been a lot shorter if Janet had shown up on a giant antique tractor with a shotgun full of scrap iron.

“This book is dedicated to Sir Terry Pratchett OBE who has stood like a wossname upon the rocky shores of our imaginations – the better to guide us safely into harbour.” - Ben Aaronovitch,  Foxglove Summer

He called it potentia because there's nothing quite like Latin for disguising the fact you're making it up as you go along.

Foxglove Summer is a lot of fun

it's a story of fairies and philandering set in a place not unlike where I actually live

and honestly, It does Peter some good to get out into the country a bit

it's a funny one for me cos like Herefordshire is sorta the next county over for me, like I'm not super close to the Welsh border, but it's more or less all sheep country between me and where the story takes place, you could set that story where I live and the only major difference would be that there would be a lot more bilingual signage

the environment, the characters, the drama, it's all familiar to me and I don't often get to see that in fiction (or at least the supernatural mystery fiction that I like)

on to The Hanging Tree next

📚 January Reading Round-Up 📚

I got off to a pretty good start this year in terms of reading. I made a lot of progress in the Rivers of London series (which continues to be compelling and great), started a few novels that will take a while to get through, and revisited a series from my childhood.

- Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson (unique worldbuilding, kind, subverts tropes in great ways, loved the narrator and the characters and the relationships, some lovely themes and a great epilogue)

- Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch (Interesting, great character development, some cool worldbuilding elements)

- The Hanging Tree by Ben Aaronovitch (trans rep, great characters and relationships, perfect tension with the villain, loved Peter trying to bring the Folly into the modern world)

- Lies Sleeping by Ben Aaronovitch (bittersweet ending, loved seeing even more of Peter’s character and philosophy, great interactions with every character, an intense and very tense plot and denouement)

- Tales from the Folly by Ben Aaronovitch (fun, liked the Peter Grant stories better, felt the Moments were weirdly written)

- All Fall Down by Jean Little (a return to the Dear Canada series of my childhood, didn’t like this story as much as the others written by her and in the series more broadly, pacing felt a bit off and the tension/character work was perhaps a bit too simplistic, but heartfelt and kind nonetheless)

Leave it to Peter Grant to have this thought as he runs down an embankment chased by invisible meat-eating unicorns 🤣

(sorry for the terrible picture, I was half asleep when I snapped this pic)

“I may be a city boy, but I'm fairly certain that the greasy purple and red squishy bits are supposed to stay inside the sheep and not be sprayed across a surprisingly large area.” ― Ben Aaronovitch, Foxglove Summer

thinking about it Rivers of London unicorns make an amount of sense

it's a bulky magical ungulate with a big horn on its face, of course, it takes the stance of stab first ask questions maybe never
