I tend to agree with you about characters and novels. Often times I get swept away by a cast of really great characters and the setting often doesn't matter. The ones above are the ones that really stuck with me and I could read any cast in and enjoy the familiar backdrop.<br /><br />I read and enjoyed Control Point and now picked up Gemini Cell even though it's set before. I really enjoy the world he's created. It makes sense to me that a government would react to magic in the way that it does.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593893408944369921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117762546021743552.post-76869803696003682682016-04-15T12:19:22.412-04:002016-04-15T12:19:22.412-04:00Great pick on Salyards.

I'm trying to think of others but I keep going back to idea that the author's characters were what really made the world great, and many that I think of have wrapped up those characters' arcs. So even with liking the author and their world, if a new set of characters don't work as well for me, I can't say that if still enjoy the story regardless of the world.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying what Myke Cole has created in his military fantasy setting, but I'm liking the characters in his newest one, Gemini Cell more than I am Control Point.Tim Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711718554317230349noreply@blogger.com
