Which was good, although showing its age in one or two clunky bits.
Then I read
The Last Defender of Camelot by Roger Zelazny. Most enjoyable. Part of a Humble Bundle I bought five years ago in May 2016.
And then I read
Headlong by Michael Frayn. A Kobo freebie I picked up in 2012.
A sad disappointment. An enormous amount of art history research went into the novel, and it shows. All the way through. It doesn't help that the protagonist in unlikeable, and that the ending is telegraphed and obvious from the start, as it's a 'told in retrospective' story, with no real suspense.
2/5
Next up: Another freebie, this month's Phoenix Pick:
Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman
