Book rec

[resonant]

I've just finished reading Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman's The Fall of the Kings. It took a while to hook me, but the more I read, the more impressed I got. (Until the last chapter, when I realized that "impressed by this book" had been superseded by "wildly in love with Jessica Campion." It took a while for the women in the book to show up, but when they did, they showed up with a vengeance.)

I also think it would make a hell of a movie.

Do any of y'all find that when you finish reading a book you like, your first instinct is to e-mail the author an LoC? Of course if I could do that I'd be polite and not do what I want to do, which is threaten to hold my breath and turn blue if they don't immediately give me a sequel with lots of Jessica in it.

Sorry to intrude, but the Fall of Kings conversation intrigued me. I hope I'm not out of line in posting here but I know that the authors would love a LoC.

Ellen and Delia have a website to write them from. It's:
