But yes, I'd have to say I loved Doomsday Book more. A bit easier to latch on to Kivrin than to Dietrich, I guess. And Kivrin's transition to fluency came much quicker than the Krenkens' did, so the characters started communicating earlier on in DB; it didn't have that slow start that a story burdened with a long language acquisition can have.
