![]() "Oh, it's so dreadfully hard to be so beautiful and have everyone want me! *sigh*" Oh, poor baby. Gesaril, the main character and antagonist of The Hienama, has become markedly less loathsome as he has grown up and matured a little, but I still found him to be fairly petulant and tedious, like a beautiful high-school girl who's utterly self-involved in her own overblown angst. Unfortunately, it utterly failed to live up to the promise of The Hienama. That said, I absolutely loved The Hienama, a stand-alone novel which exists within the Wraeththu universe, so I've been waiting with great anticipation for the follow-up, Student of Kyme, to appear. Her Sea Dragon's Heir trilogy also veered wildly from wonderful to blah. She's always been hit-or-miss with me: The 6 books in the core Wraeththu mythos were wildly uneven- some of them were incredible, some of them felt contrived her early short stories, and one other book I can't remember the title of because I couldn't be arsed to finish it were dull and amateurish in their execution. ![]() I think I'm really over the Storm Constantine experience. ![]()
