I’m reading them in the author’s recommended reading order and I’m currently up to The Vor Game. While the first Cordelia books are decent the Miles books are real page turners so far. So if you were put off by the cheesy looking covers like me, give them a go!
I love them, they are so engaging and the different cultures are distinct in understandable ways, the plot hangs together, they are good books. Not like hard sci fi but effortless placement of a dramatic story in a different universe.
They’re great stories with some interesting sci-fi ideas tossed in here and there. Her Chalion series is fantastic too.
Judging books by their cover? Tsk tsk tsk. 😜
And no, I haven’t actually read the books or heard of the series. But I’ll check it out now! 🙃
I don’t know… I’ve been developing websites for decades and, at least from my phone, that’s pretty youch even for 2016. Haha.
Oh, the plots are ever as cheesy as the covers, but she does know how to spin a good yarn.
I liked the first two (about Cordelia) better than the Miles books in some ways. He’s just a kid, she’s more interesting in a lot of ways.
That said, I think the best bit of the whole series is the Miles-focused novella The Mountains of Mourning.
