Reading 2009: Band Of Gypsys
Jan. 23rd, 2009 10:01 am*) The DFC.
In a recent Mezolith (prehistoric myths) a pregnant woman eats the forbidden flesh of a raven, and gives birth to a dead baby. It's wrapped in the ravens wings, and "buried" in tree. It comes back to life eats insects and grows for years, before being discovered and brought back to the tribe. But she rejects them, and goes and lives with the ravens on a near by cliff. She is now a powerful shaman.
This is a kids comic remember.
3) Band Of Gypsys by Gwyneth_Jones
Wikipedia sums it up. "Unlike previous episodes, Band Of Gypsys can’t easily be read as a stand alone."
( A book in which nothing much happens. Spoilers. )
In short I didn't like it. Possibly because it demanded knowledge of previous books in the series I hadn't read. But mostly because nothing particularly interesting happens in it.
