I too enjoyed the Instrumentalites series better the second time through.

Maybe it was because I had a better understanding of what was considered normal in that world than the first time around.

Would love to see another Black company series but I don't think it will happen. which is too bad.

Yes, I enjoyed the Instrumentality books better second time through.  Not sure why it took me a second reading to get into them better; it may well have been me and not the books.  

I still think there's too much telling instead of showing, but it's an enormous canvas he's painting; I've never seen anything other than a history book so concerned with involved politics in so many centers.

I haven't heard anything new. Weren't new Garrett and Black Company books in the works at one point?

I append the perennial question about whether there's any news about forthcoming books from Glen.  Cheers, Larry -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans
