I'll take "how the fuck did I miss that" for a thousand, Alex.

How the fuck did I miss the fact that Adam Stemple's Steward of Song comes out in three days?

I haven't sorted out how I felt about the first book, which I was really enjoying until the ending, which made me go WTF? So I'm on the one hand glad for a chance at the story being resolved ina way that is emotionally satisfying as well as well-plotted. On the other, I am thinking "what if it's just the same and leaves me feeling dissatisfied?" And I think probably I ought to re-read Singer before I read the new one. Cos I want to love it, cos it's Adam.

I am made of epic fail.

I think my initial issues with the novel centered around how abruptly is shifted in tone and went down a dark path. I suspect a lot of that involves his development as a writer, and given how much I loved most of the rest of the book, I've got faith that he'll pull it off. But yeah, the ending of the first one did leave me a wee bit unsatisfied.

What I wonder is: how did you miss being a contestant in the bacon-eating contest that was described in the Globe today (Sidekick section)? :)

I didn't know about it ahead of time! And thus, I declare that contest pointless, because whoever won wasn't facing me.
