What is Lee and Miller's BEST Work? You decide!

[rolanni]

OK! Here's some fun. Far more often than seldom, a review will appear -- either in a professional venue, or in a blog, or on Amazon, which states, "While X is not up to Lee and Miller's BEST work..." (robotech_master, yours is only one in a long line). This sort of thing has always seemed...like a bit of a cheat...to me, because, yanno, here's this reader who knows what Lee and Miller's BEST work is -- and they're not going tell you!

Dirty pool, I say.

So, here's your chance. Below is a list of longer Liaden works. Which is the Best? Choose one and only one, then! Defend your choice in comments.

Have at it.

Scout's Progress has those things which go into a good book: pacing, character building, world building, enough plot to move the action without becoming overbearing (yes, I read regencies for fun), engaging people. While I like AoC, CD, and CoH, it's to Local Custom and Scout's Progress that I return when I need my Liaden fix (and then I go and read the rest of the series again). They are further along in your development as writers, which really shows in your sense of pacing and making every sentence work for it's place. LC's plot doesn't engage me quite as much as SP's, and I love Daav and Aelliana as people more than Er Thom and Anne.
