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..." ([livejournal.com profile] 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.

I voted for Local Custom. I find the novel to be more polished\focused\structured then the others. I also love the language and the use of language in that book.

I love all of your books but some of them cut back and forward a bit abruptly from scene to scene especially I Dare. Mind you, in that book you have to follow several different groups of characters around which probably contributes to the feeling.

In general, I like your characters, the language, the plot but especially that I can re-read the books and find a new line or a new idea in something I already read a million times. Andre Norton's books get me the same way.

This is very difficult because it's such a subjective thing and what I've just critised above someone else will love.
