cydork 's review for:
The Pride of Chanur
by C.J. Cherryh
I don't remember this book well enough to give an in-depth review, so I'll just give what I liked and disliked about it.
Yay!
- The Hani. It was refreshing to see an alien race with differing gender roles, gender expression, and no freaking breasts! Love you Captain Pyanfar.
- The aliens in general - I highly appreciated that they weren't just technicolour humans, with some different enough to be unable to communicate with other races, like the Knnn
Nay
- There is little description of the environment or characters, so it was very confusing and difficult to imagine what was happening. For example, I kind of assumed "default" imagery for spaceship docking, with spaceships attaching to a planet like regular ships to a dock. But near the end of the book, the author mentions that ships can't see each other while docking and just use a radar map, which is the basis for what is essentially the climax. It threw me completely off.
