Highlights and Lowlights - April 2024
 
Books are listed in reverse chronological order from how I read them,
using a very primitive rating system:
“+” are good, and more “+” are better
“-“ are not good, and more “-“ are worse
 
I’m happy to answer questions about anything on the list.
 
Highlight -  Lyorn - Brust [Vlad Taltos #17]
 
Lowlight -  Balanced on the Blade’s Edge - Buroker [Dragon Blood #1]
 
Here’s a quick summary of what’s more in-depth below:
( ++ - ) Polar City Blues - Kerr
( +++ ) Med Ship - Leinster [collection]
( ++ - ) Chimera’s Star - Stewart [Starship’s Mage #14]
( + - - ) Balanced on the Blade’s Edge - Buroker [Dragon Blood #1]
( +++ 1/2 ) Lyorn - Brust [Dragaera/Vlad Taltos #17]
( +++ - ) Earth Abides - George R Stewart
( ++ 1/2 ) Cast in Honor - Sagara [Elantra #11]
( ++ ) The Blue Sword - McKinley (re-read)
( ++ 1/2 ) The Hero and the Crown - McKinley

I read Polar City Blues many years ago, and liked it well enough. None
of the others, although I have read some Buroker works.
