I'm reading Robert Goddard's In Pale Battalions and loving it - somehow, the description doesn't do it justice at all. It's rich and mysterious and has great gothic overtones.

Just before that I finished Elizabeth Moon's Vatta series. It had it's good points, but I think it ended fairly weak and I get a little exhausted by how often secondary characters *talk* about how amazing the primaries are, when we don't actually get to see any evidence. I loved books 1 and 4, 2 was good, 3 was meh and the 5th and final book in the series was a huge let-down.
