book update. Also, Kenzi.
Kenzi first. Anyway. After re-reading de Lint's book about Jacky Rowan, it has occurred to me that Kenzi from Lost Girl is a Jack.
Book list:
The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl by Tim Pratt - Very pulpy in feel, but entertaining. I kept picking it up when I was bored with other things.
Daughter of Exile by Isabel Glass - Fairly standard fantasy and politics fair, and a bit simplistic. Was entertaining despite the frustration of how the dudes kept doing All the Things while the one time a woman got to do magic-things, her scene was two paragraphs long (contrasted to the three pages spent on the dude).
Gossamer Axe by Gael Baudino (re-read) - bi-sexual (leaning to lesbian) harper girl takes on the Fairy realm with an all-girl heavy metal band to rescue her trapped lover. Lots of mysticism and "womanly mysteries" stuff is mixed in, but even now it's pretty solidly entertaining.
Snow White and Rose Red by Patricia C Wrede (re-read)
Jack the Giant-Killer by Charles de Lint (re-read)
