[LMB] HH pb sighting

[alayne at twobikes.ottawa.on.ca]

Here in Ottawa this afternoon, as I was buying _Black Powder War_, the 
third in Naomi Novik's excellent dragons/Napoleonic Wars series.

I finally got to read the first chapter of _The Sharing Knife_, at the end 
of the HH pb: a fairly slow start, but certainly lots of questions are 
raised, action is foreshadowed to occur fairly quickly, and the characters 
definitely look worth further acquaintance. Doesn't grab you by the 
throat, though (maybe it's just J-school training that makes me tend to 
expect this: it's certainly not a requirement.)
