The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands - Sarah Brooks

Strange and beautiful, the world and characters drawn with care, and the plot, such as it was, gathering speed like a train on the tracks. This  leisurely, intelligent story perhaps needed a little more steam power to really get going.

The Last of the Greenwoods - Clare Morrall

Didn't finish

That's two novels running I couldn't finish - at least they were both library books. This one was particularly disappointing, as I enjoyed Morrall's When the Floods Came. But this was so dull and laboured that I realised I didn't care what mysteries might be revealed if I read on. Great cover, though.
