The Sharing Knife Volume Two.  I'll be going to see her speak with my 
friend who turned me on to her books.  If you are a fan of hers (and 
IIRC there are a few here?), I hope she's coming to a city near you!

Alla:

I am definitely a fan of hers, absolutely. I am almost positive that 
Zgirnius was the first one who mentioned her books here and boy, oh 
boy did I love them all, no exception.

I think Miles Vorkosigan saga is fantastic and the Curse of.... also 
very good.


But I have to say - I was sorta dissapointed in the last book, I 
really really was.

While I was always amased how she can do amasing character 
development and plot as well, I think in her last book ( I have only 
read the first part of the Sharing Knife) character development is 
sacrificed badly and all I can see is rather mediocre romance novel.


But I guess nobody can produce great books all the time, sigh. I only 
hope that this is not a beginning of the trend a la Mercedes Lackey 
for her. :(  In my opinion of course, but as I said I love ALL her 
other books and would have definitely gone to see her if she came to 
New York.

Just my opinion,

Alla
