Evaluate About Books Kesrith (The Faded Sun #1)

This was a little too dry for me though I did end up liking it. C.J. Cherryh writes well and does a really good job in this story creating believable aliens that I came to care about during the story. I guess in the end it was just a bit too slow moving for what I was in the mood for.

This was the start of one of my favorite sci-fi trilogies of all time. I was thinking about it the other night and went hunting through my bookshelves until I found it, thinking I might re-read it. It is so old that it pre-dates ISBNs. So much for scanning with the Goodreads app. The paperback edition cost $2.95 and it was published in 1978. But I felt even sadder when I opened it and the ancient glue of the binding cracked, so I've just ordered the omnibus reprint of all 3 novels from Amazon. I

Storyline: 2/5Characters: 5/5Writing Style: 2/5World: 4/5Im learning now that a certain classic science fiction book (view spoiler)[Dune (hide spoiler)] spawned a line of derivatives, or perhaps even its own sub-genre. Kesrith is one such book. I personally loved the progenitor and have liked the few subsequent tributes Ive come across. Be forewarned, though, like the original, this is a fantasy experience that requires a lot of upfront work. These are the exotic, invented or otherwise irregular

I like the tight first person, and I'm used to the rhythm C. J. Cherryh uses. I like looking at humans through alien eyes.

A most excellent series. I found this one on my bookshelf, and found the reason I had kept it all these years. This is one of the first of the alternate world series I so love. The language that CJ Cherryh uses is finely-honed - not the big thick books that have come to be more recently in this genre, but sparse and evoking of the worlds and the peoples she creates here. I had to really focus on the story to be sure I was pulling from it as much as I could. The three (4 if you count the dus,

The opening novel in the "Faded Sun trilogy" is not a fast paced action story but rather a psychological study in two alien cultures interaction with humans. The Regul (who have a superiority complex-they have vastly superior memories and superior technology) have been at war with humans but do not partake in the actual combat themselves but rather use a race of mercenaries called Mri. The author creates a whole culture and mythology about the Mri that reminds me of Samurai, middle eastern
