2020 book 110

Victoria Goddard's Til Human Voices Wake Us
I wanted to remain immersed in Goddard's world, so read this one, which was new to me. It was slightly jarring, because in this one, her fantasy world overlaps with modern England, where a powerful mage is moonlighting as an actor and hanging out with Shakespeare, Robin Goodfellow, and Scheherazade. And also about to wrap up a centuries-long Game of good versus evil. This character is similar to the protagonist of Hands of the Emperor, in that he struggles to deal with/reveal his feelings (though this book was written first). And this does fill in some of the gaps of Goddard's world, too, which makes me eager to read the other ones I haven’t yet. B+.
