RH’s style is more poetic – I love the way, she describes everything, I love her characters. Here diction is so , hm, pictoresque, polished and so, so rich and stirring (you see I go into raptures). Whereas MH’s stories are somehow strange and a bit disturbing (again: I can only judge the short-stories, because I never finished Ki and Vandien or other novels)...Finella, I absolutely love how eloquent and passionate you are about how RH's writing affects you. I think many of us here, ended up here in this forum because of the visceral and undeniable reaction we had to her work. It's fascinating that you perceive such a difference between RH and ML, and I can't wait to read some ML myself, to see how I like her style. I will admit I have some trepidation about plunging into ML, as I just don't want to be disappointed!
RH’s stories simply overwhelm me with all her charme and magic.
