2025 EDIT: Part of my clear-up, of books I no longer like, or am no longer interested in, or remember well as standing out, or find as special anymore, or I otherwise will not miss.
In this case, on a reread, it's some odd, nonsensical use of phrases, the random, offhand, casual mentions of SA, the racial insensitivities, and the liberal use of the word "bitch" to describe women and what they supposedly do.
Final Score: 3/5
Original Review:
Funny, witty, genre savvy and informative (I have the recently up-to-date version). A good companion for any fantasy fan, whether or not you plan to write fantasy yourself.
RIP Diana Wynne Jones. May your cleverness, charm and inventiveness be read for all times.
Final Score: 4/5
