Where it sits

Notes

  • From the series record (The Derkholm Series): A completed two-book secondary-world fantasy duology satirizing package-tour fantasy fiction (a direct companion piece to Jones's own nonfiction The Tough Guide to Fantasyland), distinct from her other admitted universes (Chrestomanci, the Dalemark Quartet, Howl's Moving Castle, the Magids duology, Fire and Hemlock).
