Alice Muriel Williamson: The Lightning Conductor Comes Back (Hardcover, Chapman & Hall) No rating

The third book in the Lightning Conductor series. PDF scan available free via Google Books …

may abandon / DNF this one ... somehow the same thing that helped make the first two so enjoyable (lots of setting info, place names, etc.) is working against this one ... there are a lot of place names and sort of comments about London neighborhoods (?) but without any prior knowledge of same it's just so much alphabet soup. Might give it another chapter to see if things improve.

Tanith Lee: Dark Castle, White Horse (Paperback, DAW) No rating

IN DARKNESS SHE WAKES -- a beautiful young woman, forever imprisoned in the Castle of …

Brought some more of the library over to the new place last week, including a couple of Tanith Lee series and this standalone story collection. Want to read them as well and it just seemed simpler to read this one first.
Tanith Lee was SUCH an amazing & unique writer, it's ridiculous that she fell out of vogue in the 1990s. So many modern fantasy fans have no idea what they're missing.
