Susan Palwick, Shelter.
Oh hell, it’s been too long since I read this. I really enjoyed it, although I'm still a bit unsure about the ending. An intelligent house offers refuge to a homeless man in the middle of a storm (a storm in which the house’s owner dies, having gone out to rescue his ex-wife), and the connections between these people and a few others spin out into the story. ( Shelter )
Robin Hobb, Renegade’s Magic. Third, and final book in the Soldier Son trilogy – a trilogy which does some interesting things but is also difficult, in many senses, and I do wonder what this has done to Hobb’s sales figures. I think she has enough goodwill from the Fitz books to survive one failure, but I’m not sure where she’ll go next.
( And “failure” is probably too strong a term. )
