Sci-Fi Bender

[bloodyrosemccoy]

So I finally got to Chanur's Legacy. I never read it before because honestly Hilfy was insufferable. And I stand by that assessment, though she seems to finally be getting the glimmer of a clue through her thick skull. And I do love getting deep into alien minds.

Definitely going to go on to Cherryh's other stuff, too--the Alliance/Union universe to find out Tully's context, and also I've got Foreigner here. (Tried to get into it once and never got very far.) But I'm wanting other sci-fi, too. Definitely on a kick. You nerds got any recommendations?


PS: LOOK AT THIS FUCKING COVER I FOUND. Suddenly I want to learn French just to find out what the everloving hell the translator who described Pyanfar THAT way to the illustrator was on about.

Miles is fun, but you REALLY have to treat his stuff as a completely different world from Cordelia's. I think you'd enjoy Falling Free, too, which is TECHNICALLY a prequel to the Vorkosigan stuff but entirely disconnected. It's about bioengineered kids who have arms instead of legs so they're better designed for working in space transitioning from being chattel to independence.

Ooh! I may look into that one!
