Modesitt Jr. I've read this before, as an audio book, but never as a regular book, but decided I wanted to re-read it now that so much of the back story is known. I'm enjoying it, though I just skip over the too frequent faux-religious crap. Finished it, and had started on the second in the series, Imager's Challenge, but that's going to have to go on hold for a day or two. Rosemary Kirstein's fourth (and final so far) book in the Steerswoman series, The Language of Power is out on Kindle (DRM-Free), and that comes first. |
Finished
The Language of Power, and it very much left me wanting her to get well enough to write more! I really like this series. I like the premise (technology as magic), I like the strong female protagonists, I like the pace and language, and I like the characters in it.
Also finished
Imager's Challenge. Like all the Modesitt books I've read, the story is good when he isn't pontificating. I just skip over pages at a time. Overall, I'd give this a 3.5 to 4. Enough that I'll finish this story arc with
Imager's Intrigue, but not enough to be actually excited about it.
On deck is also
Grand Central Arena. I've heard enough good things about this that I just have to give it a try.
