book review: author: seth dickinson
May. 5th, 2013 09:36 amThis isn't a book review so much as an author rec. Seth Dickinson's the author of two excellent short stories on Beneath Ceaseless Skies: The Traitor Baru Cormorant, Her Field-General, And Their Wounds and Worth of Crows.
Baru Cormorant tells the story of a warrior accountant (yes accountant) dealing with the aftermath of a political and personal betrayal. Worth of Crows features a pair of very different wizards fighting a dragon who draws its power from the magic of thermodynamics.
Both stories have female protagonists, they're both bleak, and have a very pragmatic worldview which I appreciate. And both stories are available for free download via the links above, so all they will cost you is a few megabytes and a moment of your time.It's well worth while. I'm tired so this post is pretty short, but trust me when I say that the length of the post is by no means proportional to the awesomeness of both tales.
