Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I was just wikipedia-dipping and discovered that one of the two stories in Soon I Shall Be Invincible is a complete rip of the Tomorrow Woman storyline.

Anyone read the new Kushiel book yet? I'm about 15 pages from the end, and kinda wondering [edit: all about tone/pacing, nothing spoilery re: actual events] if her editor sent it back to her saying "You need to wrap this up more quickly", or if she just got bored, or what. It's...oddly paced. I feel like all of her other books have been so intricately plotted and DENSE, and this book feels like the first 90%...well, no. It's not that a lot didn't HAPPEN. And yet, it somehow didn't feel as though it did. And then the last 50 pages is wrapping it all up verrrrry quickly. Not *quite* in a "I'm going to deus ex machina wrap this all up", really, any more than any of her other books. Just...hmmm. I can't tell if it's that I CARE less, or what.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So it was boring, pointless and unoriginal.

Raq, what Tomorrow Girl storyline are you referencing? I couldn't find it in Wikipedia.
