Read: Emma Bull - War for the Oaks

A re-read of a favourite already read many times over. But I couldn't resist - an edit of one of Jenn's recent stories reminded me of this book, and I just had to pull it off the shelf. As lovely as ever - charming dialogue, passionate characters, intriguing mix of urban setting with fantasy elements. It all came to an end more swiftly than I remembered, but it's rather un-melodramatic story arc is one of the things I like about it - it's not really building to the big battle scene after all, but finishes up on a smaller-scale human level.
