Finished both of these stories. Interesting, especially
Waldo. I enjoyed them, and I'm glad they've been made available in eBook format by Baen.
Next up,
The Outskirter's Secret, by Rosemary Kirstein. This is the second book in the Steerswoman series, featuring the Steerswoman Rowan and her friend Bel, a barbarian, Outskirter warrior. The first three of the books are now available DRM free from Amazon, with the fourth promised for next month.
These books were released across a fairly long time frame, starting in the late 1980's and developed quite a dedicated following, though we apparently weren't a big enough following to satisfy the likes of Del Rey. IAC, Ms. Kirstein is now releasing them in eBook format, with a promise of a new one coming. I
highly recommend the series. Start with
The Steerswoman, the first in the series and now available on Amazon for $2.99 in the US, or £1.86 in the UK. At that price, by all means give this series a try. It's not flashy, no big wars or battles, but the underlying premise is compelling and the characters very well done.
