Take 5: A Hob's Bargain

I'm back to finishing up books already started (from page 200), to bring down the towers on my bedside table. Patricia Brigg's The Hob's Bargain was written before her current popular Mercy Thomson series; it's fantasy, not urban fantasy. It shows Briggs strengths of interesting characters and competent world building, but also her weaknesses of idealized boyfriends for her women. It's been a fun book to dip my toes in for the past few months, and a perfect book to read at the park to get some benefit out of the wonderful weather that showed up just in time for this book challenge.
