This week saw the first review of  The Red Book posted to the web. It was a thrill to see it pulled apart by someone who knows her literature.

Jen Brubacher is a librarian and writer who hosts the blog Scribo Ergo Sum. She holds the honour of being the first to purchase The Red Book just hours after it went live on New Years Day.

Jen writes:

While each story stood well enough on its own, it was after reading them all that the tapestry of the characters’ world came clear.  Even when it seemed all the mysteries were solved, another payoff would come far later in the book.  The collection got better with each story read, and so too do the previous stories, the sum greater than its parts, and the parts made greater because of the sum.
