BL: Lord Tophet (Frost, Gregory)
Gregory Frost, Lord Tophet
Del Rey (2008) ISBN: 978-0-345-49759-8
Score: 1
Conclusion of the Shadowbridge duology, in which we learn why people are chasing the heroine and what really happened to her parents (making me wonder if the first volume is even necessary). The plot is rather contrived and full of infodumps, but that's not surprising in a story about stories. The last ten pages (excluding the epilogue) consists of the story of the title character, a couple paragraphs of climax, and then a page of ambiguous denouement. Someone who likes short stories would probably like this better than I did.
Next Book: Kai Meyer, The Water Mirror
