- Kate Griffin's The Midnight Mayor, not perfect, but a really good sequel, very much worth picking up - Holly Black's White Cat, despite how meh I was about reading an earlier book of hers. Interesting read, can't wait to see if the sequel is any good - Lane Robins' Maledicte, because I just liked it that much.
I don't really have a 'worst books' list anymore. Generally, I don't bother to finish things if they are starting to look really bad. But I do remember a couple of books that were disappointing:
- Daniel Fox's Jade Man's Skin, for being a rather sorry sequel. I was expecting so much more than there was, and I don't think I'll be bothering with the series in the future. - Ann Aguirre's Stone Maiden, for being unifinishable even though it was written by an author I expect. I didn't get beyond the first two or three chapters, it was that bad.
All I'm looking forward to next year are sequels-- Red Glove, The Neon Court, Fury of the Phoenix and Bitterblue. Oh, and the next atevi book by C.J. Cherryh.
