Just finished Ashes of Victory, and oh oh oh such an ending! Beautiful work. It got off to a slower start than the others in the series, but by the end it had sucked me in so much more - possibly because I may be the only person reading this series who's less enamoured of massive space battles than the complex interactions of policy, expediency, ambition and personality.
Oh, and I yelled out loud with pleasure when Shannon Foraker... did that thing she did. Thank you
topbit. Didn't half startle the dogs. (Oh, and:
hms_fearless)
Apart from that, quiet lazy day today. Just come from taking the dogs for a last walk of the night up & down the length of Woodbury Avenue, and someone near the opposite end of the avenue apparently has an overfed, horse-sized dog with some weird digestive issues... massive great turds everywhere. The fact that I can't manage anything more than a mild, distasteful annoyance tells you just how fantastic a mood I'm really in. I'm not sure I could work up a rant right now if I trod in one.
