I just re-read Ellen Kushner's and Delia Sherman's Fall of the Kings. I found it better the second time around, though still frustrating, basically because I am sucker for closure. But even with every single danged nit I can pick, I still kept having this urge while I was reading it straight through to reread earlier or later bits in the book. The last time this happened to me, I was reading Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere for the second or third time -- and I'd seen the show a few times as well.
I am so glad I was reading it while everyone else was reading Order of the Phoenix. I do intend to read HP5 one of these days, but mainly because I will, and so people don't have to watch out for spoilers around me. Assuming I don't get put off by having to duck the spoilers and by all the hype, I will try to read it after I have finished The Man in the Iron Mask, which I have, at long last, started, and which follows much better after Fall of the Kings than Order of the Phoenix could. It should be a good transition. I am in chapter 14, "A Domicilary Visit". And Aramis rocks!
