A lot of the people who've read the first two books of the trilogy, at least in-store, were delighted to see a return to the DEATH OF A NECROMANCER world, fwiw.
I liked Death of the Necromancer, but found it by far the slowest of her books. I'm enjoying the trilogy much more, possibly because of the aforementioned barbarian.
I'm trying to think of the cranky middle-aged women in her books, but I'm coming up slightly short -- possibly because our definition of cranky is different .
Now that I think about it, they're not all middle-aged, although the protagonist of Wheel of the Infinite is, and I just adore her as a character. But they're none of them ingenues: All of her heroines have Pasts, usually with fairly serious screwups behind them. Somehow, I relate well to that sort of character. :-)
