Ah...the Liad books are great comfort books (thanks again to
talandra for pointing me at them years back).
I just reacquired a copy of Partners In Necessity (omnibus of the first three volumes) yesterday. I've since read it.
I can't say that I was actually in need of comfort, but I was definitely in the mood to re-read the series. Great, space-spanning adventure, high style verbal political dueling and some excellent depictions of real relationships (of people who are a tad idealized above the norm, but that is pretty common of fiction). I'm a definite sap for any fiction featuring lifemating (see also Valdemar :) ).
I somehow managed to squeeze in viewing Heroes (good episode, but not great, for reasons I can't really get a firm grip on) and a cardio workout. I even went to bed and got a little sleep before work (only about a half hour less than usual...but I couldn't stop until the end of the book!).
I think I shall squeeze in Plan B and I Dare in the next day or so...
For those interested and not aware, by the way, Omnibus collections are being made of the limited edition Lee/Miller chapbooks. The first one is already out and the second is available for pre-order (which I have done). Good short stories, featuring characters new and old and with the smooth Lee/Miller writing style.
