The Will of the Architect

[incandescens]

Rereading Garth Nix' Mister Monday, in preparation for his Grim Tuesday, which amazon.com assures me is on the way. I'd forgotten quite how much I enjoyed it. Garth Nix has an excellent ear for names. Monday's Dawn, Noon, and Dusk; the Night Visitors; the Will; the House, and the Secondary Realms . . .

It strikes me that there are at least two books coming out in a week or so which I might theoretically get sample-copies of from White Wolf. One, Outcastes, which I have work in; another, Orphan-Grinders, where I contributed to the line. Time to start watching the post. (Which as we all know leads to daily heartbreak, but it's hard to put hope away.)

Maya | And in the Realm of the Dubious, the Fae engage in mud baths, with female Fair Folk intertwining their long naked limbs, their white flesh showing pearly through the thick dark goop, as they writhe and gasp in passion -- THIS BROADCAST HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED BY THE IMMACULATE CENSORS. PLEASE GO AT ONCE TO YOUR NEAREST TEMPLE FOR IMMEDIATE DE-WYLD CONTAMINATION.

I read Mister Monday. Good kids' lit, definitely, and chock full of stealable imagery. I loved the concept of Noon's limited influence, etc... All very attractive.

Yes, Noon's limits were a very neat touch.

There's a teaser/fragment for Grim Tuesday at the back of the British edition of Mister Monday, which happens to be in the hospital shop downstairs. (I got the American edition months ago, of course.) It looks promising. Incidentally, Tuesday's vice seems to be avarice.
