[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7506893, member: 20564"] Read the surprisingly short Flowers of Vashnoi novella that was the new entry into the Vorkosigan Saga. Ekaterin is a character I greatly enjoy, but this had a lot less laugh-out-loud and less misty-eyed times then usual. I started readign the new Honor Harrington book. So far it's a bunch of disconnected scenes with different characters in each. A very few of which I recognize, some of which I dimly recognize so maybe if I read this right on the heels of the others, and others are completely new to me - but there's little clue if they are new characters or people we are supposed to know something about from the surrounding non-Harrington stories. You know, I sigh when I'm deep in a series and the author is re-introducing things to make sure the book stands on it's own. but now, with none of that, it is not appealing. Reminds me that the last couple of Harrington books would have cut scenes for other characters who had been introduced elsewhere whom I had no empathy or understanding, describing the aftermath of things I didn't recognize. I hope this gets more on point. [/QUOTE]
