Appalachian tales with some magic

No rating

Interesting tales of Appalachian folk tales and life from the perspective of traveling balladeer John with the silver stringed guitar. The stories were written in the y1950s so to me there is an interesting blend old ways (John walks on his travels) and more modern life (automobiles, railroad and even planes).

Excellent continuation of White Space series

5 stars

(Read this early as an ebook ARC from Goodreads giveaway.) An excellent continuation of the White Space series. Sunya and her research are the main contributors to the story progression but many other characters have important roles and contributions. Also, a little discussion about functioning societies and the obligations they entail.
