Almost as soon as Rexroth and I got home, I settled into our favorite reading chair and devoured the rest of War For the Oaks by Emma Bull. This is, by all accounts, the novel that defined the term “urban fantasy”. And wow. It’s just — utterly compelling. If you like Tithe by Holly Black or Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, I highly, Highly, HIGHLY recommend you grab a copy of War For the Oaks. In fact, I’m indebted to Melissa’s editor Anne for suggesting I pick this up. It seemed a no brainer, since I’d already enjoyed Emma’s book with Steven Brust, Freedom & Necessity, as well as Finder, another one of her urban fantasies. But this was new (to me), and exciting, and oh, so good!

I’m off to go see how many more of her other books I can get my hands on.
