Recent Reading

Still stuck on Robin Hobb and C. J. Cherryh lately.
Without giving away plot details, I'm going to give a quick recap of what I've read and what I think.
I finished the "Realm of the Elderlings" books. The Tawny Man trilogy concludes that nine book series, and it was excellent. Everything I mentioned about her previous books holds true with these ones as well. Also, it does a great job tying up loose ends from the Farseer and Liveship Trader trilogies.
I've also read the "Alliance Space" omnibus which contains Forty Thousand in Gehenna and Merchanter's Luck. Again, really like Cherryh's writing. Forty Thousand in Gehenna especially was very interesting. It dealt largely with human interaction and adaptation to a new environment and alien intelligence very different from our own.
All these are keepers...
