Reading Thursday

What I finished reading this week

Dragon by Steven Brust so now I have read every book twice except Brokedown Palace and Vallista. The standout detail for me was this exchange:

"They wanted me to stay out of their business."
"Will you?" she said.
"Stay out of his business? Not anymore," I told her.
She laughed a little. Her eyes were light brown. "You sound like a Dragon."

I don't think we see her with brown eyes again. I looked Aliera's eyes up once because I was curious if they corresponded to the colors of the Orb (no).

I was also amused by Vlad asking how Morrolan knew about Mario, and Vlad wondering how Sethra knew him so well. And I had completely forgotten that Noish-pa was in this book.

I want a Dragaera icon but I don't find any of the book covers iconable, there's not much fanart, and I haven't decided on ~the perfect quote~ yet.

ETA: I hadn't realized that Cawti knew about the man with the black box.

What I'm reading now

The Falconer by Elizabeth May, a YA steampunk about a girl who kills fairies after one murders her mother. It's pretty cliche.

What I'm reading next

My library acquired a bunch of Mary Balogh ebooks!
