CJ Cherryh - Rusalka and Chernevog

[Nerds_feather]

anyone read these? i loved them in the 1990s, and am considering getting the updated ebook versions (she apparently did extensive new edits a few years ago). i remember thinking the pre-christian russia setting was really interesting...

...are those memories correct or incorrect?

I read them recently and liked them. They were sort of hard to follow at times, what with all the clashing wishes that everyone was trying not to make and their sometimes impenetrable motives, but overall I enjoyed them and, like you, found the setting interesting ... definitely not your standard fantasy novel setting, though it resonated with some of the folk and fairy tales I've run across over the years.

The new versions might be less opaque, but considering it's Cherryh I'm not betting on it. I plan to read them some time, but not so soon after reading the original versions.

i've got no idea where my original paperbacks are, so it will have to be the new, updated versions for me. will probably download rusalka for an upcoming plane ride. should be interested to revisit!
