Another underwhelmed review of Mélusine here

otoh, Farah Mendlesohn gave Mélusine a positive (and very lovely) review (sadly not online) in the July Interzone.

My copy finally arrived from Amazon (the perils of a single pre-order for a bunch of books with different release dates) and I did a happy dance with it, and then found, to my dismay, that I am too stressed to actually read it. But it's here, and that's good.

It'll still be there when you're less stressed. Books are nice like that.

Feel free to post the review. And I have just noticed that there is a Mildmay Road, not far from where I live.

Aw, I'm liking it so far! Though I regret to admit, I'm reading it simulatneously with 3 other books, if you think it seems to be taking me awhile.

Thank you!

I actually got the name Mildmay (though the back-formation is my own *g*) from Mildmay Fane, eminently forgettable Cavalier poet and Earl of Westmorland. So Mildmay Road could be in his honor--or one of his descendents, if the name continued to be used.

I see what you mean by "eminantly forgetable." Not bad, just ... not good, either.
