Re: Book Series or Authors

Elizabeth Moon! Fuck yeah! Serrano or Vatta?

Do you not find Honor Harrington a little dry?

Also, I've just started on Vorkosigan. It is... dense stuff. Good, just a little... Well built, if that makes sense. Like the world is already formed and fleshed out, and I either have to keep up with the characters who already know the rules of the world or get left behind.

What about the dresden files put you off? I've not got to the last few books, and would like a heads up.

Serrano mostly, I think. It was a while back, so there may have been some others mixed in.

Having read everyone from Mervyn Peake to Victor Hugo, as well as Hornblower, I generally found Honor Harrington quite manageable, though I do favour the later books (and the Saganami subseries). I got very attached to several characters as well (Eloise and Aivars in particular), which helps.

Vorkosigan I'm actually finding a little harder. I've only read five books so far. I very much enjoy Simon Illyan, though, and several of the other characters, so I'll probably keep noodling around it until I get all the way there.

As for Dresden Files, I don't think it was any specific thing so much as I got tired of the series, and the darkening tone overall just wasn't doing me any favours. I've only a limited tolerance for the apocalypse at the best of times, Butcher is on record that that's where we're heading, and it is becoming obvious in the tone and the general slide further into moral ambiguity for several characters. I'm just ... not able for it. Butters, Sanya and Marcone are my main loves left in the series, and they're not really enough on their own to carry it anymore.
