My friend China Mieville has taken a step back from his usual work and written a YA fantasy novel.
YA isn’t really my cuppa, but it sounds nifty enough that I want to take a look.

I would have a bit more respect for the writer of the review and his jab at J.K. Rowling if he’d spelled “Voldemort” correctly. I’m not the biggest fan of the Harry Potter books, but come on…do your research.
ummmm…
whats YA fantasy???
LOL…
I thought the same thing…then i thought….what if he’s an UBBER fan…and doesnt want to spell it correctly for fear of summoning, “he who shall not be named…er, spelled correctly”…

I’m reading it. You’re reading it. It will be good. You know it. :)
I just discovered his work in; Looking for Jake. As I normally pick an author at random once a quarter to try out and see about something new…
I have to say that the style is (still reading) a little strange for my usual tastes. Although I can think of several people whom would truely appreciate this kind of work, all of whom received recommendations.
