I'm continuing to intersperse my novels with William Gibson's short stories from the Burning Chrome collection, but the latest story, Fragments of a Hologram Rose, was simply too short and insubstantial to leave any meaningful impression. Two stars.

My Dragonlance reading project came to a screeching halt when I discovered that none of my planned upcoming novels were available digitally and most of them were also difficult to find in physical editions. I therefore diverted to another D&D setting, the Forgotten Realms, and found a couple of series I want to check out. It is fitting, then, to start with Pool of
