ok so went to the annual town book fare yesterday .. snapped me up 17 new reads.
Yes Av - got Gardens of the Moon ..
5 Patrick Obrien books, in the vein of Horatio Hornblower which I loved. Very happy with that catch. Its kinda pot luck and Im very happy with my lot. Got 2 Celia Dart Thornton, wanted to read her for a while now. Got a nice couple of WWI books. And other stuff that has escaped my mind.
Feeling very satisfied![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Hahaha, I like the stuff he writes on his own. I'm not into his co-written stuff. I won't even read the so-called "Dune" books.
The Seven Suns series really is pretty good though. (I liked his Star Wars extended universe books too.)
Just started A Forest Of Stars, book 2. (And my Saga Of Shadows books arrived yesterday, so I better pick it up a bit.
)

If they were both written by the same guy, I would agree, but they weren't. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Esselmont was just slow.
Anyway, that's purely based off my personal experience that GoTM was confusing as hell when I first read it.
I didn't appreciate it at all until I had read DHG, MOI and HoC, then went back and read it again.
Then I understood it.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
