I just finished reading Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand (not to be confused with Elizabeth Moon, who by the way did not write a book called Waking the Hand). I read that this was a postfeminist work, so apparently postfeminist means that it's okay for women's magic to be evil juju again. And it's distinguished from prefeminist works by the large numbers of female and/or gay protagonists. Heh. :) I didn't like it as much as some of the reviewers did, but I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

A lot of stories have a point where suddenly a lot of time passes. ExpandI've always found that interesting... ) Waking the Moon has a point where the character ages from 22 to 37, and I really like the quote. It has an edge to it. I didn't really change all that much. I didn't turn grey. I didn't get fat, I didn't get married, I didn't have children, I didn't die. Kind of half scary and half encouraging, that one.

I'm thinking about a lot of things that I can't properly put into words right now, and so I talk about books while pieces of self shift and settle inside me. My poor readers. You'll just have to put up with it.
