2.5 stars. This was the least engaging of Cherryh's novels I've read. I stopped three times to read other books start to end till I finally finished this one. I will try the Foreigner series next, but I won't continue with the Chanur one.

:D This poor book suffers from quite some mistreatment from my side. I paused it already three times and finished three other books in the breaks. I hope I get the last 30% in one go."

Jemppu I hope Foreigner plays out better for you.


Gabi I hope so, too. But then, I have so many books on my TBR, it doesn't matter if I ending up not liking some of them.

Beth I'll be interested in seeing what you think of Foreigner once you get to it. If you end up liking it, well, there's a bunch of it to like...


message 4: by Oleksandr (new) - added it

Oleksandr Zholud I agree, this is weaker than say Downbelow Station. Maybe because it just too adventure-action

It will be some time till I get around reading it (I'm on a mission to read as many as possible 2020 releases to be able to put in an educated nomination for the Hugos)

Cherryh's style is just too dry for me, most of the time I don't really care for the characters. And the overall space opera/politics topics are not very high on my priority list as well - so she has a difficult stand with me, I admit.
