Nicholas Blake: Thou Shell of Death


24 Festive Tasks: Door 18 – Hanukkah, Book:

Read a book about light, miracles, featuring Jewish characters, set in Israel, that is the second book in a series, with the word “two” in the title, or with a light on the cover.

 

This is a Christmas book, but I’ll be reading plenty more of those in the next couple of weeks (plus, it doesn’t have an overly Christmas-y feel), so I’m counting it as “second book in a series” — which takes it into the book tasks for Hanukkah.

Atmosphere aside (which I actually found to be more evocative in book 1), this is quite a jump in skillful execution from the first book, though.  This is beginning to bode better and better for the series as a whole.

Michael J. Sullivan: Legends of the First Empire

Michael J. Sullivan’s Riyria books have been on my TBR for a while, but until I’d read two short stories from the cycle — The Jester and Professional Integrity — I hadn’t been sure whether his writing would be for me.  Then I found out that (much like Tolkien’s Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History […]
