C.T. Phipps Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Finished Dawn Chapman's THE SECRET KING: LETHAO and THE SECRET KING: FIRST CONTACT. Very 1970s Battlestar Galactica, which isn't a bad thing. Loved the covers too. Also read M.L. Spencer's DARKSTORM which is like D&D fiction only more sex and betrayal. Now listening to SILVER by Rhiannon Held. Kind of Patricia Briggs-ish.

Lord of Rhinos Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's a short book and Atwood's writing is top-notch. That being side I think it shows its age. The feminism on display is very much of its time. Which isn't a bad thing, one of the reasons I enjoy reading classics is the chance to visit foreign countries.

I don't think any other series I've read has improved from book to book as much as this one. Great stuff. Next i've got the latest Pax Arcana novel lined up. Weeeeee. The last few books have felt like chapters rather than stand-alone stories to me. This whole Richard and Council thing just drags on and on and on. Plus, the Anne thing looks like it's never going to get resolved with an honest let's sit down and talk about our relationship moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but on the bright side, he's publishing one a year pretty much, so as long as that schedule can be adhered too, I'm okay with that..

I'm not okay with that. I want him to wrap up this story and to start telling a new one that we can care about again. Same thing with Steven Brust and his short-story "novels".
