There's a reason for this, at least as regards Feng's -- it's not one of his better works. ;) That and To Reign In Hell both had significant problems. > Okay, new topic: which, if any, of Brust's books have you *not* enjoyed? See above. I had trouble with Freedom and Necessity as well, but mainly because the random politics disagree with me and the way the book was framed was really thoroughly annoying. F&N had real quality there, just not the sort of quality I tend to enjoy. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org) Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Politics: http://www.triggerfinger.org/index.jsp
