Since it&#8217;s a coda, this novelette obviously contains massive spoilers. So, it will only make sense if you&#8217;ve read the trilogy. (If you haven&#8217;t, why, go and get yourself those books! I&#8217;ve plugged them here before, but really, I haven&#8217;t had such a squee reaction to a series in ages, and they totally deserve all the love they can get.) Anyway, the novelette was lovely, it resolved some things I&#8217;d really wanted to know about. And I do love getting more glimpses of the world Elliott&#8217;s created even though the trilogy has ended. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And for all of you who have not read the <em>Spiritwalker<\/em> trilogy, go and read Ursula K. Le Guin&#8217;s piece <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightspeedmagazine.com\/fiction\/elementals\/\">Elementals<\/a> over at Lightspeed Magazine. This is a wonderful secret history type piece &#8211; it&#8217;s not really a story, in the traditional sense, but it&#8217;s wonderful. It made me think about what a glorious, secret planet we live on despite the mundanity of daily life. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m high on writing and folk music and dance tonight, so just these two recs for now. I think it&#8217;s time for me to go and find something to eat, and then perhaps write some more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To my intense delight, Kate Elliott posted a Valentine&#8217;s Day gift for her readers on her blog on Friday: a coda to her wonderful Spiritwalker trilogy (Cold Magic, Cold Fire, Cold Steel).
