5/27/2023 0 Comments Among Others by Jo Walton![]() ![]() Growing up in the seventies, it was considerably harder to meet like-minded readers or even just find out about the existence of books you might want to read: as unreliable as Amazon release dates can be, they’re at least an indication that the author is a) still alive and b) working on the next book in the series. ![]() ( Note: funny how dated the references in a review can sound just three years later, no?) There’s GoodReads, Shelfari and Librarything, and even if you’re not on one of those sites, it’s never been easier to connect with other fans and with the authors themselves. There may be book release parties, even people sleeping in front of the bookstore when the next book is due out. You can buy Team Jacob/Team Edward shirts, Harry Potter glasses and a Game of Thrones calendars. There may be movie franchises and/or an HBO series about them. If you’re into fantasy, there’s a good chance that the books you like have a devoted following and a few dedicated web sites. (You’d think I would have remembered to do this when it won the Hugo Award, right? Ah well.) ![]() ![]() With the release of the author’s essay collection What Makes This Book So Great ( my review), I thought this would be a good time to remedy that. I just realized that I never posted my old review of Jo Walton’s Among Others here. ![]()
