…seeing that I was good for nothing, of my own free will I became a poet and a rhymester. That is a trade which one can always adopt when one is a vagabond. –Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dam…

A (fairly recent) review/article of NDdP on Tor from Mari Ness! I disagree with, well, a lot of it (the vast cynicism of Victor Hugo?!?) (THE ARCHITECTURE DIGRESSIONS ARE AMAZING, I WILL FIGHT) (also  Quasimodo is NOT presented as evil, I WILL FIGHT EVEN HARDER)  but it’s a generally fun read and at least it acknowledges the importance of Djali.
