I stopped between The Lost Steersman and The Language of Power while my family was in town, but now I'm back at it.
I'm already almost halfway through The Language of Power and I'm coming to the cold hard realisation that this book is not going to end with any more resolution than its predecessors. :( I'm loving these books so dearly, but I see now the price for jumping in in the middle of a multi-decade WIP.
That being said, The Outskirter's Secret, which I never really discussed here, has probably been my favorite. Awesome adventure! So much Bel-Rowan hangout fun! Rowan being all out of sorts! Seven thousand mother fucking delightful new characters.
But I did adore Steffie, and Zenna, and the "Demons" in The Lost Steersman, and I am enjoying The Language of Power, especially Rowan and Bel's comfortable dynamic.

Oh, and while I was digging around to remind myself of Janus's name because I forgot it for a second, I saw from Rosemary Kirstein's blog that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. And apparently her treatment seems to have obliterated it!
