Pointsmen...

[byslantedlight]

Well, I'm a bit heartbroken...

...because I've yet again finished the existing Pointsmen books, by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett... including the new novelette, Point of Knives, twice!

And actually I'm briefly all newly-excited now cos I hadn't seen the new Point of Dreams cover before (it isn't out yet, though you can still find the original print run copies around) and when I was looking for an old one to show you there it was, all waiting to be ordered... (NB, Brits, the others were much quicker from Book Depository).

I know, I'm always raving about them, and I'm sure I've given a heads up for the astreiant comm before, which has a list of Rathe/Eslingen fic (there isn't enough!), and... and... oh, but if you haven't heard how gorgeous they are (in a deliciously professional way... *g*) then... well, they really just are. For instance, I love this about them......

But I've finished them agaaaaaaaain - wah! The authors have done the most beautiful world-building job I can imagine, and I want to live in Astreiant, and experience ghost-tide, and buy my daily broadsheet for the horoscopes, and... and... and what's going to happen about the succession?! I've been waiting years to find out... Honestly, it's all just magic, and... I need more. Which there will hopefully one day be, but not for a while, I guess... *sighs impatiently*

And if you're fond of Pros and AU, and you're fond of beautifully written fantasy, then... hie thee to the bookshop! *g*

I don't read electronically - they're all available in print, now..! *g*

Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams have been available in print for donkey's years (well, PoH says 1995, and PoD says 2002), and PoK is the newest in the series - but the two older books have also been re-released in new versions (the pics I posted) here. PoD's new version isn't available yet - but you can still get the original version second hand. In print! *g*

I know. Just want the new editions so the books will match^_^ I hate having different editions that don't match on a bookshelf.

But... if you're waiting for PoD, then you're just going to have to wait for Fair's Point next, and then the next one, and... *g*

LOL! I suppose I'm not in a hurry because I have 30 books waiting for me to read. When the pile thins, there will surely be book-hunting.
