I'd definitely read more of these books, though I might need to print out the reading-order guide to keep track of where I want to start and how to progress.
This is the third 2017 Hugo nominee which used the word "cabochon". Was there some kind of contest for writers last year that involved inserting this word into stories? I'm delighted to find that a newly-acquired vocabulary word is getting such exercise.
This post's theme words, featured in this work, are:
- scud (v), "to move or run swiftly, esp. as if driven forward; to run before a gale",
- withy (n), "a flexible slender twig or branch", and
- lour (v. intr.), "to look sullen; to frown."
The louring caterpiller scudded down the withy at the sight of a bird.
