Crown of Renewal

Having read most of Moon's military/space opera work("Serrano Legacy", "Vatta's War"), which I thoroughly enjoyed, I went looking for other work by her. I found, and read, "The Deeds of Paksenarrion", an excellent fantasy trilogy. When "Oath of Fealty", the first book of the "Paladin's Legacy" series, came out, I was eager to get back into Paks' world. The series turned into five volumes, of which this is the last, and wraps up the epic fantasy very well. Moon has a wonderful writing style, easy to read despite twists and turns of plot. The words just seem to flow from her, in a pace that can go up and down, depending on the action. Her characters are fully-formed, and fleshed out, just like people in our world. I highly recommend this series, and Moon's entire oeuvre.

Auspicious Beginning

My cousin recommended this book(and series) to me, and it took me a while to get my hands on volume one. It's a murder mystery series, where the main character suffers from what's now called PTSD. It's set in post-WWI England, and the main character is a Scotland Yard inspector, who before the war, was one of their better homicide detectives. He's been treated, and released medically, and given his job back, but has a supervisor who is aware of his condition, and doesn't like him. He's shunted off to this case, outside of London, where one war hero may have murdered another. It's a very politically sensitive case, where even the palace is interested in the results, and the supervisor hopes that Inspector Rutledge screws it up, so he can be fired. This is very well-written, with what appears to be an excellent grasp of the England of that [XBR] time. I'm hooked, and lining up a copy of book two, as we speak.

THE HIGH AND LOW NOTES...

A very simplistic book by Danielle Steel. Unfortunately. Not the story that's likely to happen in real life to a young girl with the amazing voice in circumstances that she grows in and in the environment she is surrounded by while traveling with different cheap bands...It's hard to believe she remains as naive and innocent as the novel claims, after so many years of such uprooted life, without family support or love...
