I picked up The Wild Swans (which I loved) because I had enjoyed Emerald House Rising, and I picked up that latter because AlexLit told me I might like it. I honestly didn't remember that Pamela Dean had blurbed it; how ironic!
I love Pamela Dean's writing, almost an embarassing amount; there is something about it which goes straight to the back of my brain and leaves me happily gibbering. Unfortunately, this means any sort of intelligent analysis of why her books work for me is completely impossible. "Gibber," I say, waving my arms enthusiastically. "Gibber."
I was very pleased to find your livejournal (via kijjohnson simply because I'm always so curious about the lives of people who make things, especially when they write books I enjoy.
