That was unexpected

[wm annis (from livejournal.com)]

While I have reread a number of the Liaden books (probably all of them except the Crystal books, now that I think on it), I have never finished, waited a day, and gone immediately back. I did for this one.

In any case, random thoughts —

First, Anthora scares the ever-living crap out of me. Why more people aren't alarmed by her baffles me. I laughed out loud at, "Aunt Anthora was slightly less tall, but there was, Syl Vor thought, no sense bringing Aunt Anthora into things just yet."

Second, I loved seeing more of Nova at work (I notice I'm not alone in this).

Third, the Liaden perspective on "Simon says" may be the most succinct account of melant'i I have yet seen.

Heh. Heh. Heh.

And, yeah, Anthora scares me, too.
