Author: Emma Bull.
Title: War for the Oaks.
Title: Territory.
Genre: Fantasy
Book number/Goal: 65 and 66 of 225 by 12/31/09.
Review: I liked both of these books quite a lot, though I had a few reservations about them even so. War for the Oaks is set in Minneapolis in the late 1980s and tells the story of guitarist/singer Eddi McCandry, who is recruited by the Seelie Court to bring mortality to its battles for territory within the city with the Unseelie Court. Territory is set in Tombstone, Arizona in the spring and summer before the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corrall in October of that year: it follows Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, itinerant horse-tamer/magician Jesse Fox and typesetter-turned-lady-reporter Mildred Benjamin as they confront their own magic, despite their ignorance of it, and each other. Further thoughts here at my journal.
