Ploughed through the latest John Smith: Mediator urban fantasy, which is good enough that it would have been a solid midlist title in the 90s but since midlist doesn't exist anymore, has been banished to self-publishing.

one of the all-time greats, and an annual re-read for me.

The translator is a novelist in his own right, and his Dandelion Dynasty series is quite good. It's not the translation. I suspect it's a combination of it being a hard-sf "ideas" book, and different national styles in novel writing.

Good day.

I'm traditional. A cup of tea is the drink for me.
