Did anyone read the Great Way trilogy by Harry Connolly? I'm about halfway through the second book and not really feeling it. Does it get better? It's written in such a way that the reader always figures things out long before the characters do but instead of making me feel smart it makes me think the protagonists are dense.

The series ending is really dumb and comes out of nowhere.

I shall obtain it. Thank you.

That's not the right book, the real book isn't out for another two weeks.

I just started Barrayar. I was underwhelmed by the first two novels, so if it doesn't get any better, I'll stop here.

I'd suggest skipping to the first Miles book, personally, if you didn't really like the first two. The Miles books have a much different feel than the ones about his parents.

Zelazny was one of the original members of the Wild Cards Collective, so it's a pretty good example.

The point is that Wild Cards is fanfic-quality because it's not very good.

Has anyone read live free and die by John Ringo? I wanted to give it a go since the whole maple syrup war angle sounded funny but my god I just got to the bit when all the blondes in the world now go into heat every month because of aliens. I'm embarrassed to be reading this. Also I'm guessing Ringo is a member of the tea party?

Yes, and also far worse things. Live Free and Die is probably one of his problematic series, though. His Ghost series is about a self-insert pedophile rapist (literally no exaggeration here)
