Hmm, Improper English had me shouting at the book at one stage. Main female character is irritating as hell.

That seems ... to be not surprising. Her books are either really cute or throw against the wall worthy.

(nodnods) I won't spoil the plot but clingy females who are completely idiotic tend to make me want to hit them.

I much prefer her guardian books.

Alsoalso, Sheepfarmer's Daughter is excellent and still one of my favourite books - along with the rest of the series. It's definitely D&D style fantasy though but I don't think you'll mind that. Gah, want to go on and on about it but I would totally spoil the books.

Elizabeth Moon is a former Marine. Paksenarrion is practically an autobio:)

(nodnods) Could be why I love her writing so much. The battle sequences are just awesome. Oh, Jen, if you haven't, check out the Serrano Legacy series and 'Remnant Population' after you read the Paksenarrion stuff. They're Sci-Fi rather then fantasy but very cool.

Hmm - I'll have to see. Honestly, I really don't get into much 'sci-fi' stuff - the moment books go into space, I tend to not get into it. Oddly, though, space shows/movies I adore.

(nodnods) sci-fi can be very touch and go. It really depends on the writer. I'm a fan of all the degrees of sci-fi as well as all the degrees of fantasy but I cut my teeth reading on the old pulp sci-fi magazines. Library teacher I had loved to give me old books to read once she saw that I was interested.

I think the weirdest one I ever read was about an expedition that ends up getting eaten and their brains then fight it out to be the dominant one in the newly formed 'creature' that results.

Really? Hah!

Yep - iirc she started as a ranker and retired as a leutenant:) She's not one of my favorite writers (her style just doesn't click with me) but she certainly knows what she's talking about in terms of tactics, organization, etc.
