quick Yuletide rec post
Dec. 29th, 2023 02:22 pmLots of fun stories up this year! A few I've particularly enjoyed:
The Death of Sven Hjerson Poirot; longer, plotty whodunit with a terrific Ariadne Oliver voice.
An Invigorating Life. This is ... well, hard to describe, but sort of fix-it fic for Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, picking up on the touch of magical realism that's there in the original and running with it.
Soul Clap Its Hands and Sing. Guy Gavriel Kay's Sarantium books, WITH THEATRE HISTORY. (OK, this one may be in the niche-personal-interest category, but it's very, very good.)
The Lost of Winter. Goblin Emperor / Cemeteries of Amalo universe. Longer, plotty, Thara Celehar-centric, and feels just like the third novella I've been waiting impatiently for.
Anything's Possible. Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. OK, so I don't usually like fanfic written in script format even if it's for a play, and I don't usually like stories that kill of characters who aren't dead in canon; this is MORE than good enough for me to love it anyway.
