goldy_dollar wrote a nifty little fandom meme. It’s one of those how-well-do-you-know-me things, but I’m just doing it as a normal meme; feel free to gack.

Queen’s Play, Take Three

http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2778

I finished my third read of Queen’s Play, and have started on Mary Doria Russell’s Children of God, sequel to The Sparrow. (I know, I didn’t like The Sparrow to begin with, but my friend Cat wants to see what I think of the sequel, and I’m hoping that if I read it, she’ll feel obligated to read The Game of Kings in return [without stopping a third of the way through because it’s “written weird”], and then I’ll have someone in real life to talk about it with! I was all excited that my mom read it, but as usual my mom thinks it’s insane to talk about something you’ve read [or watched, or listened to] so that turned out to have been pointless.)

Anyway, Queen’s Play. I want to do another, kind of definitive re-read of the Lymond series, while taking notes on great lines and interesting bits, and looking up every quote and reference that I don’t recognize. But in the meantime, here’s my brief thoughts on Queen’s Play, take three.
