But overall it was OK, and I will still be buying the next ones in the series.
Then I bought and read Penric's Mission by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Excellent. A splendid novella in her Five Gods universe, featuring the wonderful Penric and Desdemona. But read the first two ( Penric's Demon and Penric and the Shaman FIRST!
I highly recommend anything by Lois McMaster Bujold. I've read all her books, and I've at worst liked them. Most of them I've loved.
Next up: Grantville Gazette #68. |
Agree completely about both Bujold and the Harrington series. Bujold I always enjoy. And somehow, I keep reading Weber even when he annoys me. I do rather wish he could write a bit shorter.
Thanks for the mention of Penric -- I'd missed that there was a new one.

The Hanging Tree, #6 in the outstanding Peter Grant series from Ben Aaronovitch. I had to take a trip to the UK to get it, but couldn't stand waiting until January.
