Horseclans 12 Woman

This is a great series, and a great book in particular. Congrats on considering this edition...the newer edition is somewhat abridged. Robert Adams can get sometimes monotonous in his plot elements if you read the entire series, as the corrupt religious dirtmen theme is rather overused, as well as the once again corrupt Ehleenee. I still enjoyed the series rather a lot, though I have only read about the first thirteen. My father had collected them when they were new, and books 14 on were devoured by some mice out in storage before I came along looking for them years later. Dad tells me that they are more military action than the previous books in the series though, and although I enjoyed the battles in the first few books, I do like some plot thrown into my savage sword-hacking battle scenes. I would highly recommend the series, though read it before you hand it over to preteens if you are one of those BIG BROTHER parents. My dad always had a open "I'll explain or discuss anything you don't understand or that bothers you" approach with me on reading, and I think I turned out pretty good. :) (Couldn't help but throw in a bit of propaganda ;) )
