there's a strong central character in this Horseclans state acquisition tale. Bili has the virtue of being Human, rather than Undying.
What I'll read when looking for GMing ideas... ( )

Despite being the 10th book in the series, I thought these get better as the series goes along. Bili is a well written character without the god-like abilities of Milo and some of the others in the books. This is part of a very long series, so you have to be familiar with the plot and the setting for this to make any sense at all. As far as post-apocalyptic books go, its not bad, but there are better. Both Sterling Lanier and S.M Stirling have written similar books that I believe are better reads. ( )

This is in the middle of the series and worth reading. He's a memorable character introduced earlier on, so it was fun reading a book about him. This breaks the rule below.After about book 6 or 7, I got a little worn out with the series. I've been meaning to go back & read it again, since I didn't have the entire series all at once, but read it out of order, in scattered pieces across the years. ( )
