![]() ![]() And so lonely, he just wants a friend (which in Atevi society is complicated and dangerous). He is so tired, please someone give this man a bed. The series (baring the prologue) follows Bren, human diplomat/ambasador and translator to an alien race called the atevi. ![]() And I think it might put off readers a bit, cause it gives off different vibes, while providing important context. ![]() ![]() The beginning of the first book, while perfectly fine in itself, is a lot more spacey and confusing than the rest of the books. It’s fun, it’s got great characters that I adore, and importantly for me, it’s easy to follow. I haven’t read so many consecutive books in a series since the great Discworld binge of 2014. The Foreigner books are all above 400 pages, and my audiobook listening time for them has gone from 2 weeks each to 4-5 days/book, depending on how many walks I can take. More recently Stariel, Mage Errant and Valdemar have gripped me in a similar fun and comforting way, but those were all short series with mostly short books. To give a bit of context, I usually read one book and move on, maybe 2 if there are only 2 out. At this point, unless Cherryh does something atrocious in future books, I don’t think I’ll be stopping till I run out. I started out meaning to only read book 1, as is my habit, then I said I’ll only read the first trilogy. At the time of writing, I’ve just started Foreigner book 10. ![]()
