One thought on “Delicious LiveJournal Links for 4-1-2011”
The Iron Dragon’s Daughter is an exceptionally grim and nihilistic deconstruction of fairyland fantasy. I enjoyed it, but it may be too nasty for your taste. It may come across as misogynistic in the fury of its attack on female-coded fantasies of being sooperspeshul if you don’t also read its thematic sequel Jack Faust, which has no plot or worldbuilding connection but is equally nasty about male-coded fantasies about being a Heinleinian Competent Man.
