I definitely love the Empire series. Granted I was about 12-15 years old, but at the time I don't think I had read another book that featured a female lead character who was so strong, yet sympathetic. Forgive my poor memory, but I love the bug-like race of creatures that lived underground. I can still remember the tension in the scenes when she visited them in their tunnel system.
It's been at least 20 years since I last read the series. I think I know what I'm reading next. I'm working on Game of Thrones at the moment. My colleagues at work keep pressing me to read some of Brian Sanderson's stuff, but I haven't bit the bullet yet. Nat On Sat, Apr 14, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Raymond E.
