@tetracycloide: Actually we've partnered with Borders's scifi blog Babel Clash for our book club. It's not a commercial relationship, though. We're just linking to each other.
Nothing personal, but I think I'll have to pass on this one. It sounds like a good book, but I'm tired of "coming-of-age" stories right now. Seems like a lot of books, movies and TV shows lately have been coming-of-age stories (Juno, Harry Potter, Twilight, Heroes to some extent, etc.).
@TemporalSword: twilight and heroes are coming-of-age stories? you could have fooled me, all the characters, adults included, seem as childish and self-centered at the end as they did at the beginning.
@TemporalSword: This book is a pretty unusual version of that sort of story. It is most emphatically NOT for kids. I mean, it's a coming-of-age story if you consider The Hobbit to be a coming-of-age story.
I really loved Santa Olivia, the world, the heroine, the way she thought. It was incredibly compelling and I can't wait for the meeting to hear what others have to say about it...
I really have a difficult time thinking of Cugel the Clever as a swashbuckler... he's more a dandy and rogue. There's little that's heroic or courageous about him. Few of your "D" words (other than dapper) actually apply.
