[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 4132187, member: 4937"] 'Curse of Chalion' = Great novel. One of the best fantasy novels I've ever read, and it features the first invented pantheon that I can actually believe people would worship. 'Paladin of Souls' = Good novel. It suffers from a slow start and I feel a much less flattering, less daring, portrayal of the five gods that begins to de-deify them. 'The Hallowed Hunt' = Typical fantasy. Felt like I was reading a well concieved 'furry' fan-fiction at times. Plus it had that whole, "He's a wolf...She's a leapord...Together they fight crime.", pitch to it. The main characters felt shallow. I couldn't really find myself caring. I had a hard time plowing through it. Never felt as satisfying as the former two works, and did not hold my attention the way the Vorkosigian stories have. Just my opinion of course, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
