No; as you already know, I read The Dragon Waiting in October. ^^
The beginning of November actually feels like a long time ago, now; the book is hazier than I'd like it to be. I definitely liked it, and I'm definitely going to have to read it again, because there were a lot of things I didn't understand (most especially, I didn't get what had supposedly been revealed in the final conversation between Doc and whatshisname the mob boss mentor at all). (Actually, that guy's name constitutes a different sort of puzzle: I recall that when I knew it I couldn't for the life of me work out how to pronounce it.) Possibly it would have helped if I'd ever read any of the Bordertown books or collections; I'm sure a close familiarity with the details would also be useful. Fortunately I like books like that, the ones that work the first time on an emotional level, but leave a mystery nagging at you that slowly comes into focus on repeated reading (see also my well-documented affection for Pamela Dean).
