  1. I keep meaning to read something by this author. I once had a writing tutor who brought a copy of 'The Pride of Chanur' into class and told us just how good the writing was in it! But as I'm not a huge adult sci-fi/fantasy person, I keep thinking 'next year'. I like the extracts here though!

  2. I have read books by this author but not this book. I remember enjoying them but haven't read anything by the author for years. My book this week is Unholy Blue by Darby Kaye. Happy reading!
