Defining Characteristics: RH and ML

[Tintaglia]

I like them both. Hobb does big with the world building, Lindholm not as much. Both do characters extremely well. My favourite ML is Cloven Hooves, followed by her only science fiction novel, Alien Earth.

You can read a Lindholm short story, Cut, online http://www.asimovs.com/Nebulas03/cut.shtml .

Sini, where did you get Cloven hooves? It's the only Lindholm's book I wasn't be able to order...
Then, back in topic: I red the first two novels of Ki and Vandien, and I was a bit wooried: I loved so much RH I feared bein g disappointed by a change in style and characters.
Even tought there are changes (a "smaller" world, smaller plots, less characters) I find ML stuff as good as RH's, only differente.
I like the fantasy she writes: minimal, intriguing, different.
