Notes To Self

Directions I want to pursue in addition to books already suggested with very brief explanation. More detailed comments individually.

Workhouse: read around this for House omegas, main court, Old House training courts etc

The Age of the Five/The Black Magician Trilogy: Brilliant style of writing, tone and suspence, twists etc, great characterisation.

My Family And Other Animals: Humourous, dry, autobiographical style might be useful

His Dark Materials: Don't roll your eyes, there is logic here. Alternate version of reality, similar to ours but different.
