DANCING WITH HISTORIC FICTION…
It is historic fiction but at the same time it's a tale of what could have been. When we gathered that historic night at John's Bondi flat we didn't know that we were on the cusp of a new political era and, at the same time, at the start ot the dissolution of a band of friends brought together by the changes and excitement of the decade just gone…

And, still, after all these years, all these decades, we do not know the identity of the person who tipped off the journalist.

Vagabond 1-3: I thought that this series started out quite slow in volume and continuing into the second.

I thought for a series that wants to be grounded, being #HistoricFiction, Takezō seemed superhuman, taking on large groups of opponents with seeming ease.

I found that the drama really started to ramp up in volume 2, allowing for a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations.

The artwork and action scenes are absolutely fantastically rendered.

"Izzy" Moira McAlister. 3.5 stars. Follows the extraordinary life of an early Australian colonist who was present for some momentous historic events & more than the usual share of drama. All the more amazing for being based on real people. Pedestrian prose with awkward dialogue, but captivating.

Review of "Izzy" (3 stars): Amazing colonial fictionalised biography

https://wyrms.de/user/wildwoila/review/38871

"The Song of Achilles" Madeline Miller. 4 stars. A tragedy of narcissistic proportions. Nicely written & well paced. Feels real without losing its mythic aura.
