Jan-ken-pon – The word on Charlie Huston’s My Dead Body & Daniel Abraham’s The Price of Spring

Okay, these are some thoughts on two books I’ve recently finished, one released in July, the other coming out in October. One from Tor, the other from Del Rey, so both from houses with big yards, both from authors I’m familiar with (at least their work), and both continue & conclude previous adventures. These are brief thoughts on Charlie Huston’s My Dead Body, and The Price of Spring by Daniel Abraham. You can check out my preliminary thoughts I expressed on each within my Now Reading posts (here and here). As an aside, I’m not saying they will always occur, or even that they will occur at all, but if you’re the type who avoid spoilers at all costs, you may just want to take a pass.
