3.0

To be discussed on Tuesday August 13th at Powells SF group in Beaverton at 7pm. A mixed bag of fantasy story mostly leaning towards war and battle and mayhem. One, by Elizabeth Bear, was overly long though very pretty with an interesting backstory concerning people that become automatons and wizards and guard ninja orphans. And another, by Glen Cook, had annoying use of language, with a military band on the run with a very irritating backstory and set of characters. The stronger stories are mostly in the front. But really I saw nothing here that would make me want to go out and read any of these authors.
