Reviews of a couple of books

I've had a couple of new reviews up in the last week or so. My review of The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan (as promised a few weeks ago) is now at Luna Station Quarterly. It's a sort of fairy tale, certainly a beautifully imagined SF novel, and surprisingly for my Random Walk Through Speculative Fiction slot, pretty recent (out in paperback in the UK either this month or last).
The other review is The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick, another free book from The Bookbag. Nothing SF about this one, it's about an old widower from York having a series of entertaining/poignant adventures.
Go read the reviews, then read the books. I'm enjoying the lifting of my self-imposed Trollope ban by reading The Prime Minister at the moment. I shan't review it, but you can imagine the joy it's bringing me.
