I'm mostly a sci-fi reader, preferring happy feelgood stories, and competency porn, but reading a lot of different stuff makes me happy :)

reviewed Hunting Party by Elizabeth Moon (The Serrano Legacy #1)

Elizabeth Moon: Hunting Party (Paperback, 1999, Orbit) 3 stars

Really enjoyable

4 stars

I enjoyed this book a lot, I thought I would, since I've really enjoyed most of the other books that Moon has written, For some reason the hunting scenes of the island kind of freaked me out, and I usually don't get freaked out with books, so that's kind of interesting.

Good book, but heavy politicking

4 stars

I really enjoyed reading through this book, it felt a lot more cozy and close, and less bleak than the other ones in the series I think, it was nice to see Bren really starting to have some more successful relationships, and it just felt good. Like always in these books though, there is a lot of politics, and the book is written in a more literary fashion, which does have some nice turns of phrase like "The sun slipped over the horizon" and stuff like that, but it somehow really tires me out to read things like that for a long time :p

Still really enjoying this book, but I need something a lot more light after this one, and I'm kind of planning to reread some favourites to cleanse the palate a bit :)
