V
B The Dying Earth 1950 SF/Fantasy
Future magic more than spaceships

Too long ago, can’t remember
B Araminta Station (The Cadwal Chronicles, Book 1) 1988 SF
Nice mythos, original (if arrogant) characters, some punch
C+ Ports of Call 1998 SF
Ostentatious expression, light comic prurience and violence
B Kalki 1978 Novel
Hinduism and apocalypse in the US
B+ Creation 1981 Historical Fiction
5th Century BC celebrities. Scholarly, able, but hardly a page turner

Very impressive ideas. Much of the ‘ride’ a bit dark/frustrating
B+ Dicey’s Song (Tillerman Series #2) 1982 Juvenile (Novel)
Capable young teen sequel to Homecoming
A A Solitary Blue (Tillerman Series #3) 1983 Juvenile (Novel)
Poignant and powerful without shouting. Moreso because it *doesn’t* shout
B+ Tree By Leaf 1988 Novel
Able meditation on choice and destiny (much better job than Cherry’s Rusalka)
