Unfortunately Marillier was a bit too elegiac for me. To put it in fantasy terms: too much elves wafting around and not enough Aragorn hacking orcs and making solemn vows.

@Weesam
I get not wanting to read A Song of Ice and Fire as GRRM keeps getting in his own way a bit, same as Rothfuss, but I read "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" this year and was surprised to be reminded what a good writer he is, really. Maybe these novellas are just the thing to pave the way for ASOIAF (next year)?


LMAO! Okay, duly noted (and warned!)

I had to look up "elegiac" you know. I don't recall ever seeing the word in print before. I'll have to remember that one . . .

Speaking of ASOIAF, guys, here's a little inspiration for the challenge: https://youtu.be/XAAp_luluo0
