some book reviews

Since fanfromfla said she'd like to see more discussion of books, here are some reviews I wrote up ages ago but never posted because I meant to add one more (for K. J. Parker's Devices and Desires, which I found both fascinating and frustrating but never did manage to write about).

These are brief reviews, with no plot spoilers beyond "back cover blurb" level.

( Finch, by Jeff VanderMeer )

( Solitaire, by Kelley Eskridge )

( Magneto: Testament by Greg Pak )

why the Second Doctor is the best

I just started watching the reconstruction of "Fury From the Deep." Two minutes into the first episode, and the Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria are having a sea-foam fight. *hearts them*
