#3 in her series about the colonization of northen Sweden. This continues very good! I've never seen writing quite like hers--she uses dialect in a way that makes the story really come alive. It also has really interesting context for the history of forest issues in Sweden. Oh, and at the end I was thinking the story was really calling for some f/f, and lo, it actually gave me some. : D Would love fic for this, but writing Lidman pastische would be really hard, and pretty much impossible in English. Would be interested to see what the translation of this book looks like.
Sister Mine by Nalo Hopkinson
For my fannish book club. Well, this was a rollercoaster--lots of action and it definitely draws you along to see what will happen. I think all of us liked it, though we were also all a bit confused over events in the fantasy dreamscape parts. We all liked the worldbuilding and the different take on urban fantasy. It's about two half-divine sisters, with a world based on Caribbean mythology.
