![]() This is the short catch-phrase inside the jacket: “A tale of love and contention - among dragons.” Skeptical? I was. It is due to the matter of tastes.Īt first look, I was pretty sure I’d just been saddled (and take a moment to consider how exquisitely painful a saddle would be on a human back) with a book that I not only wouldn’t have glanced at the store, but that was most decidedly not my style. ![]() The reasoning there is in no part due to a flaw in the book - indeed, there were none, except for a few minor typos. So, I’ll try to be fair and balanced in this review, but you’ve been fairly warned about my leanings toward “gush.” That out of the way, I’ll attempt to restore confidence in the “balance” goal this reviewer has by stating clearly that this book is not for everybody. If there was a fire and I could only save twenty of my books, Jo Walton’s Tooth and Claw would probably make the cut. ![]() I love this book. Usually in a review I attempt to be both fair and balanced, but you, dear reader, should know beforehand that Tooth and Claw is a book of the kind I want to buy all my friends who might enjoy it their very own copy, so they can experience the complete joy of reading it (straight to a gossip session about the characters), and because I don’t want to risk losing my own copy. ![]()
