A review by verosnotebook
Pretender by C.J. Cherryh
4.0
4.5 - 8th book (middle book of third trilogy)
The fight against the usurper Murini continues with the political alliances between the various clans shifting and tightening, and Bren is of course once more in the middle of it all... Fights ensue, followed by a mad dash using quite a few methods of transport.
It is such a lovely thing to come back every month to have my dose of Cherryh's writing and be once more immersed in the ateva world. These characters have become old friends, each new 'episode' cementing personalities, relationships and events. I've mentioned before that I don't usually like reading series because invariably the quality goes down and the plots become ridiculous. Not the case here - at all! It feels very realistic, and I guess this is due to the author's focus on psychology.
N.B: I have been listening to the audiobooks and these are very well read/voiced by Daniel Thomas May.
