A review by karrynnagel_author
Autumn Bones by Jacqueline Carey
4.0
I love Jacqueline Carey. I love her with the affection of someone who you see from a distance, who's always doing cool shit, saying wonderful things, and presenting themselves in a manner that always stops you and makes you say to yourself, "dang, Buddy. 10 out of 10."
and I'm also really happy she is investing herself and all of us with her in the stories and characters from Pemkowet. They are fallible, diverse, comedic, dangerous. The pace moves along well, the scenery is described well, though I wouldn't mind a little more (those of us from California miss a good description of the 4 seasons, since we have only 2 here).
My only two small comments are the sort of suspended delay of interaction romantically for Daisy, for me it drags slightly. Perhaps this is a device to be explored in later books, but it feels like the epic writing of the Kushiel series trained her to lengthen the story, inwhich here, we don't need so much suspense. Also, Daisy's constant inner monologue that describes her own life and the scene makes me a little impatient.
But these are small things.
Essentially, I'm in love, and will stay throughout wherever Pemkowet, and Daisy, go.
