Sethra Lavode

[avram]

The weather has been gorgeous this weekend; spring is finally here. I hadn’t realized that I’d been feeling down till suddenly I wasn’t anymore. (That’d make a crappy blues song.) I’ve been wasting lots of time in Ground listening to They’re Everywhere by Big Jim’s Ego and finishing Sethra Lavode by Steven Brust. And doing less sketching than I’d intended, but still a bit. And eating way too much crap.


Sethra Lavode was pretty entertaining, though I like the Vlad books better than the Paarfi books, and I want Brust to get back to telling us what happens at Valabar’s. The bit at the end, a discourse about gods and games and meeting Paarfi for the first time, is credited to “Ivan Sekély” who I’m 95% certain is John M. Ford, partly because Ivan is a cognate of John, but mostly because it’s about games, and because the Paarfi-like writing style is done even better than Brust does it.

I’m happy beyond all reason with how this woman’s hair came out. I think I’m finally getting the hang of highlights.

Yes, that's by Mike. Take a look at the copyright page.

He was having fun there, and it shows.
