Blackberry Jim commented on Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
I'm accidentally reading a lot of historical fantasy set in 1700-1850s britain recently! which means that I'm reading a lot of different approaches to race, which is pretty interesting, and also definitely highlighting to me that I really need a bit more of a theory background in race.
Also this book is lovely. Barring it really dissolving in the last bit, I enjoy it enough that I will likely seek out the author's other stuff. And looking her up, she's been involved in the Nine Worlds convention that I've enjoyed a few times :3
