'Nother book

29. Rediscovery. Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mercedes Lackey.
Mediocre book about the Terrans' second landing on Cottman IV. A few strong scenes connected by lame dialogue and dull scenes. Throughout, I had the feeling that MZB and ML were carefully setting up the known later pieces of the Darkover series, such as Margali's background. They didn't have a new story to tell, which was a shame.

Luckily, I bought it second-hand, so didn't waste much money on it.

Fond memories -- Darkover is where I first learned to play Poker. And may be where we originally discovered Clam Chowder. One of these years we'll get back there...

I went for the first time last year, and I'm hoping to get there again this year. With Clam Chowder playing I've got a much better chance of talking [livejournal.com profile] violet_amy into going :)
