finished reading Fire Sea by Margaret Weis (The Death Gate Cycle, #3)

Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman: Fire Sea (EBook, 1992, Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media) No rating

Fire Sea Abarrach, the Realm of stone. Here, on a barren world of underground caverns …

Read 90% on the trip to NZ.

It doesn't hold up well (though the bad OCR is not doing it any favours), but it's easily digestible, especially midway through a 30+ hour trip.

Shuli Branson: Practical Anarchism (2022, Pluto Press) No rating

You may not realise it, but you are probably already practicing anarchism in your daily …

finished reading Dragon Wing by Margaret Weis (The Death Gate Cycle, #1)

Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman: Dragon Wing (EBook, 1990, Spectra) No rating

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms--sky, stone, fire, and …

Feels like a lot of setup. Tonnaly it's a bit all over the place.

Let's go! Hugh-the-Hand gonna rock this band!
