That I noticed on Barbara Hambly’s livejournal.
“As far as I’m concerned, the most important part of the books is how it ends: like a dragon landing on the point of a pencil. It’s got to be right. The whole book is about the ending – and the beginning. It’s what defines the story: how does it start, and where does it end?”
Don’t you love that? Like a dragon landing on the point of a pencil. What an image!
That’s especially apropos because, as you may remember, I specifically mentioned just the other day how much I liked the ending lines from Hambly’s most recent Benjamen January novel, THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK.
Other great ending?
My vote for best ever is the ending line from Patricia McKillip’s THE BOOK OF ATRIX WOLFE.
