giving in to temptation

[incandescens]

Got lent Elizabeth Moon's The Deed of Paksenarrion by a friend. Had heard about it many times before, but never got round to reading it. Am thoroughly enjoying reading it now. Decent solid stuff. (Plus, well, spot the AD&D references.)

Also gave into temptation earlier this evening and cast on with the Colinette. Just starting. Not really going anywhere yet. Still working on the scheduled jobs first. But I had to see how it looked.

The weather forecast tomorrow is not promising. Must take my umbrella.

More of the ambassadors from other countries had arrived at the university, and more heads of the Guilds were pouring in, and every single one of them wanted to be involved in the decision-making process without necessarily going through the intelligence-using process first.

Elizabeth Moon is Fun.

I'm kicking myself for not having tried it earlier.

I'll be honest, I find it meh compared to Weber's "Bazhell" series. Pax is very clearly a D&D pastiche, you can see the character sheets and hear the dice rolling.

OTOH, I came across your FFNet page and fell in love with 'Mixed Spirits'. :)

I don't know who you are, but thank you for your kind comments. :)
