Local Custom Sharon Lee Steve Miller 9780441009114 Books

An old favorite and one of a fun series. It was very innovative when first written, the manners of a Regency romance and space opera/sci fi together as one in a newly imagined world. The authors posted a sample chapter recently and I couldn't resist. It felt like coming home, somehow. I enjoyed it the first two or three times I read it and was great to return. However, please note that the Kindle version is not perfect...breaks from one character to another are not always immediately clear. Places that in a paper book might have a visual break in text as a clue that one is changing to another scene/character's situation are unfortunately not present. Still, I only had to backtrack 2-3 times to confirm scene changes...not too bad. Still well worth reading again. Now I'll probably have to go hunt up the rest of the books. Hooray!

This book had good mix of world-building and plot. The hero was beta. I found the family relationships somewhat confusing . ( Who was who's mother, that sort of thing,)
I love the Liaden universe! A wonderful, space opera world, with enjoyable characters and an intricate society. Very sad to be almost finished with the available stories. Looking forward to the next, due in May 2017.
Entanglements and delusion snare the lovers as the story slowly moved the plot forward to the inevitable ending, not to say it is not an engrossing tale
If you like space opera, and I do, I think you'd enjoy the entire series. Go to the web site and read them in order. It makes MUCH more sense. But they're all a lot of fun.
I originally owned this item in paperback. The Lee and Miller Liaden universe is a favorite of mine. The characters are complex and charismatic. The stories are not always linear but are worth the effort to untangle.
Sometimes you find just what you need while looking for something else. Thus was this find, which I originally bought in audio version because of the person (Michael Shanks) reading it. Discovering that I had issues following along, I bought the book. And an addiction was formed.

Lee and Miller create a universe with a culture with similarities to many we are familiar with-- but combined in a compelling way. Honor and duty, with rigid social rules, compelling characters and relationships, communication and problems arising from cross-cultural interactions. The Liaden Universe provides both a familiarity with emotions and behaviors we experience but also a world with characters that often display the type of morals and humanity we strive for and long to have around us.

The authors have an ability to connect the reader to a wide variety of characters. One cares what happens to the characters. The book offers advanced technology, but it is the characters not gadgets and futuristic/science fiction elements that drive the story. Very satisfying and highly recommended.
15 years ago the story introduced me to my first human liadan story. Wow so very little made sense but it was intriguing. I had to find out more. Since then if you said liadan.... I was on board . As I progressed i could not get enough. The stories are not interesting if you are human.... But the subtle stuff that is liadan is like chocolate.... You can never get enough. Even an an overdose of chocolate is still only a taste. . Misidentified are worse than vya. Never enough.!
