Date: 2003-03-12 08:50 am (UTC)"Deed" is pretty good -- I like some of the long-term plotting in it, although I'm not sold on the Paladin aspect as much. I liked it when I read it, but I haven't been inspired to reread it, if that means much. And I didn't much like her other one-offs in that universe. That said, Moon is a former Marine and her descriptions of military life "feel" right to me. HG could tell you more on that front. *g*
I like Moon's space opera, the Herris Serrano/Esmay Suiza stuff, and she's getting *really* good reviews of her new novel about an autistic man in the near future, the name of which escapes me. She's up for the Clarke award for that.
If you like "Paksenarrion", you must read Mary Gentle's Ash books. You must. Gritty and sweaty and bloody and brain-twisting in all the best ways. They're fabulous and I want to reread them but I foisted them on Max when she was last here and I dunno when they'll come back...
