hmm, thanks. I didn't bounce so much as suffer from too many overlays. It's only right and good that McGuire's diegetic Bay Area geography differ somewhat from both SCA and mundane geographies, but for me the multiplicity is (too?) distracting. And I have the sneaking sense that I once knew the individuals on whom a few characters/key traits are based. I dunno.
Better this as an emanation of SCA culture than Katherine Kurtz's Deryni, anyway, and not only because the Deryni setting is supposed to be secondary-world fantasy (though Le Guin is quite right in "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie" about its mundanity).
