Oh I remember those debates! I started with Warrior's Apprentice--and actually had to reread it because the first time was post-concussion and I forgot what I had read, but that's another story-- I think reading that one versus Shards of Honor may change whether you approach Miles as Cordelia and Aral's offspring or the center of your leap into the series, and conversely Cordelia and Aral as the core characters rather than the parental units of Miles. This is, of course, an oversimplification, but serves, I hope, to illustrate the subtler distinction I'm trying to make.
I'm not surprised Diplomatic Immunity left you cold-- it's the book that excites me the least in that series, although still sound and enjoyable in a larger context.
And yeah, I'll hit you up. May just do that anyway -- haven't seen you in a while. *pout*.
I know. It's a travesty that must be fixed! *is helpless before the power of the pout* I will stop spamming your comments now, I promise!
