The Sleeping God —
Violette Malan
Dhulyn and Parno, book 1
To quote Violette Malan’s bio,
Violette Malan has a PhD from York University in 18th-Century English Literature, but reports that most people don’t hold it against her. She started reading fantasy and science fiction at the age of eight, and was writing stories not long after. Violette has been a book reviewer, and has written feature articles on genre writing and literature for the Kingston Whig Standard. She has taught creative writing, English as a second language, Spanish, beginner’s French, and choreography for strippers. On occasion she’s worked as an administrative assistant, and a carpenter’s helper. Her most unusual job was translating letters between lovers, one of whom spoke only English, the other only Spanish.
Violette is co-founder of the Scene of the Crime Festival on Wolfe Island, a single-day event focusing on Canadian crime writing, and celebrating the birthplace of Grant Allen, Canada’s first crime writer. Violette is currently the president of the festival board, but in the past she’s given writing workshops, and was the original organizer and co-judge of The Wolfe Island Prize for first crime fiction, which is sponsored by the festival.
2007’s The Sleeping God is the first volume in Violette Malan’s Dhulyn and Parno series.
The
contract seemed so straightforward. Escort a young woman to her
nation’s capital. Unfortunately for Dhulyn and Parno, they’re
heading for the capital of Imrion and disquieting events are
underway.

Good looking Yunoshin shares his seed generously with the poor women of his town, but social barriers prevent him from marrying O-Nobu, the one woman he loves. Rather than spend his life living near the beloved he cannot have, he applies for a position in the Ôoku, the Shogun’s harem.
Yunoshin vanishes into the inner chambers, never to walk the streets of his hometown again.
Seasons Crying No Despair

Two centuries after nuclear war and the collapse of petroleum-based civilization, North America is divided between several nations: Nova Scotia et Hibernia, Minnetonka, Central, Two Crowns, and others.

The cycers, bicycle couriers like Slip, fill this niche.
Slip
is a survivor, smart and cautious enough to survive a lifestyle that
kills most cycers young. But this time, one moment of bad judgment on
her part may doom not just Slip, but the entire cycer way of life.

If
only there were somewhere beyond Lindstrom’s reach Garamond and his
family could flee …
Don’t Have Nobody to Call My Own
The Forgotten Tale —
J. M. Frey
Accidental Turn, book 2
The Forgotten Tale is the second volume in J. M. Frey’s Accidental Turn series.
Once a supporting character in Elgar Reed’s deplorably written but popular fantasy series, spymaster Forsyth Turn escaped with his beloved Pip to Pip’s native Canada (which, as we all know, is nearly as happy as Denmark). Content in his new life, husband to Pip, father to Alis, Forsyth has no intention of returning to his native Hain or even of maintaining contact with Reed.
Alas,
just because he is done with fantastic adventures in Reed’s
poorly–thought-out land does not mean that Hain is done with
Forsyth. Or with Forsyth’s family.
Like the Weave of a Spider
The City of Woven Streets — Emmi Itäranta
Emmi Itäranta’s 2015 standalone secondary world fantasy Kudottujen kujien kaupunki was published in 2016 as The City of Woven Streets. And also as The Weaver (for some reason I cannot comprehend).
The
island on which Eliana lives is controlled by a Council much
concerned with contamination by uncanny dreams and other such
temptations to … well, if I told you more that would be a spoiler.
Those deemed Tainted are isolated, a precaution to prevent the spread
of Taint. This has not been working well. The island’s rulers do
the only sensible thing: double down on enforcement. It’s a small,
harsh world.
Ain’t the Kind of Place to Raise Your Kids
Places in the Darkness — Chris Brookmyre
2017’s Places in the Darkness is a standalone near-future police procedural thriller by Chris Brookmyre.
230,000 kilometres above the Earth’s surface, Ciudad de Cielo is supposed to be the shining city on the hill, a utopia where the technology needed to reach the stars will be developed. It should be filled with pristine rooms and corridors filled with hard-working, well behaved idealists, a glorious celebration of humanity’s loftiest goals.
In actual fact, some fool staffed CdC with actual humans, not flawless paragons. Almost every vice known to humanity exists and is catered to by someone within the great space city. Not murder, however. That’s one failing not found in space.
Until
now.
Freedom, Freedom, We Will Not Obey

Elizabeth A. Lynn
Chronicles of Tornor, book 1
1979’s Watchtower is the first volume in Elizabeth A. Lynn’s Chronicles of Tornor.
Most of Tornor Keep’s defenders died in a futile attempt to bar invaders led by Col Istor. Knocked out cold early in the battle, the armsman Ryke was spared. Not out of charity. Istor respected Ryke’s abilities and preferred to keep him alive and useful. Not that Istor wholly trusts Ryke, but he does have leverage.
That
leverage is Errel, heir to the late lord of Tornor Keep. Errel lives
only as long as Ryke serves Istor. At that, Errel survives only as a
“cheari” or jester.

This Is The End, My Friend
Hiromu Arakawa
Fullmetal Alchemist, book 9
Viz’
Fullmetal
Alchemist (3-in-1 Edition), Volumes 25–27 includes
Volumes 25, 26, and 27 of the original Japanese manga1.
Story and art are by Hiromu Arakawa; English translation by Akira
Watanabe; English adaptation by Jake Forbes; touch-up art and
lettering by Wayne Truman. The original manga appeared in 2010.
The nice thing about series whose author has a destination in mind is the comparative absence of supporting characters who don’t actually support anything and subplots that don’t go anywhere. The less nice thing is that eventually the story reaches that destination. End of the line.
Which
gets me to Fullmetal
Alchemist (3-in-1 Edition), Volumes 25–27.
Like Moses Before
An Oath of Dogs — Wendy N. Wagner

Marching As To War
Four Roads Cross —
Max Gladstone
Craft Sequence, book 5
Four Roads Cross is the fifth book published in Max Gladstone’s Craft sequence. It is the fourth book by internal chronology.
Many in Alt Coulumb believe that Seril the Moon Goddess betrayed them when she left the city to fight and die in the God Wars. Seril has revived and returned, sans publicity. She helps her people where she can do so without revealing herself. The city’s priests know, but are still considering how best to handle Seril’s reappearance.
When Seril dispatches one of her gargoyles to save a woman from muggers, the victim turns out to be one of Alt Coulumb’s Criers, the local equivalent of a plucky reporter. Being saved from a brutal death is one thing, but a story is a story. The world will learn the goddess walks again.
Journalistic
diligence may have doomed a city.
Ice Cold Hands Takin’ Hold Of Me
A Fond Farewell to Dying — Syd Logsdon
1981’s A Fond Farewell to Dying is a novel-length expansion of Syd Logsdon’s 1978 novella To Go Not Gently.
Of all the nations of Earth, India has been least affected by the Cataclysm that ended Euro-American domination of the world. Though even India was changed: sea level rise has cut it off from mainland Asia and the fallout that made it over the Himalayas has forced birth rates below replacement levels. Two centuries after the nuclear conflict, India is a much emptier place.
Scientist
David Singer has abandoned the North America of his birth for India,
the most advanced nation on the planet. Now calling himself Ram David
Singh, he is researching what he conceives as immortality tech. The
odds of an American hick garnering the required resources from the
Indian state may seen poor, but geopolitics is his friend.
Dreams of You All Through My Head
The Red Ring —
Jen Frankel
Blood & Magic, book 2
2014’s
The
Red Ring is
the second volume in Jen Frankel’s Blood
& Magic
series. My review of book one, The Last Rite, is here.
In the previous volume, in order defeat a vicious warlock, almost-sixteen year old Maggie Stuart gave up her magic and now must live as a muggle. None of her former friends remember that she saved them from the warlock (or even that they had been her friends). Her loathsome mentor is pressuring her for sex. If she had any friends, she might cry on their shoulders … but the last three years has sent her decidedly into social reject territory.
Magic
is about to come back into her life in a big way.
Another Day, Another Destiny
Hiromu Arakawa
Fullmetal Alchemist, book 8
Viz’ Fullmetal Alchemist (3-in-1 Edition), Volumes 22–24 includes Volumes 22, 23, and 24 of the original Japanese manga1. Story and art are by Hiromu Arakawa; English translation by Akira Watanabe; English adaptation by Jake Forbes; touch-up art and lettering by Wayne Truman. The original manga appeared in 2009.
Adults are offered many opportunities to defer gratification, such as spacing out the last few volumes of a limited series instead of hoovering them up all at once. Adults can also say “screw delayed gratification; finish the series!” and get away with it. Guess which kind of adult I am.
Which
brings us to the eighth, second-to-last, 3-in-1 omnibus of Fullmetal
Alchemist.
In this volume, plans come together. Sorta kinda.
Just Like Fire
Jade City —
Fonda Lee
Green Bone Saga, book 1
2017’s Jade City is the first installment in Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga secondary-world kung-fu gangster saga. At 512 pages, it’s significantly longer than either Exo’s 369 pages or Zeroboxer’s 351. It’s also significantly more ambitious.
The island of Kekon is the only known source of jade, which in this world is a miraculous substance that can grant enhanced abilities to those few whom it does not drive mad or kill. The minority who can use it safely are known as Green Bones. Custom grants the Green Bones a role as protectors of Kekon and its merchants (whether the merchants want protection or not). Since the Green Bone clans are constantly feuding, the island is far from peaceful.
Ayt
Mada plans to transform a divided island into a unified whole.
These Seven League Boots
Exo —
Steven Gould
Jumper, book 4
2015’s Exo is the fourth book in Steven Gould’s long-running Jumper series.
Cent is one of just three humans able to teleport; the other two are her mother Millie and her father Davy. The ability allows the family to treat the entire planet as their home. It has also led to decades of persecution (stalking, abduction, imprisonment) by those determined to control and exploit the trio.
So
far, they have survived by hiding. Only a handful of people know what
the three can do. Thanks to Cent’s current hobby, that’s going to
change.
When You Hear the Wild Geese Calling
The Exiles Trilogy — Ben Bova
1971’s Exiled From Earth, 1972’s Flight of Exiles, and 1975’s End of Exile form Ben Bova’s Exile Trilogy.
Cast
out from overcrowded Earth, will our heroes be able to maintain a
stable culture for the decades or centuries it will take to find a
new Earth … or will they, like pretty much every other generation
ship in the genre — last week’s excepted — end up recapitulating
Robert Heinlein’s Orphans
of the Sky?
There’s a Light
Ward Against Darkness —
Melanie Card
Chronicles of a Reluctant Necromancer, book 2
2013’s Ward Against Darkness is the second volume in Melanie Card’s Chronicles of a Reluctant Necromancer series.
The good news is that Ward De’Ath is spending less time worrying about being outed as a practitioner of the forbidden surgical arts. That’s because he is facing a far more immediate problem: a band of highly motivated assassins want to kill Ward and his dead…ish companion Celia.
Ward
and Celia manage to elude their hunters and head for a wilderness
that might just be wild enough to hide them. There’s just one
catch.
