Book Review: “The Rose MacGregor Drinking and Admiration Society” by T. Kingfisher
(Five Stars)
“Is this what it’s like when they pine away after us?” “We are not pining!”
Slightly ribald version of the shaggy dog story. Riotously indirect. I’ve already told you too much; read it. (Cover art is Uncanny Magazine 25, November-December 2018, in which the story appears.)
“I’ll tell you all about it when you’re older.” She paused, looking down at the stubborn little face. “Much … much older.”
