Book (Non)News: Cherryh, Kirstein, Library Holds

[ase]

Over on the Shejidan boards, it's reported that a Cyteen sequel is done. There is no way the sequel will live up to the original. If I keep saying this, eventually I'll believe it. No publication guesstimate, so I'm assuming late 2009 at the earliest. Message board noise suggests a tenth Foreigner novel is next on Cherryh's plate.

Jo Walton asks about my favorite series in progress. The next Steerswoman book is being written, also no ETA. Kirstein is doing something no one else is doing with tropes and rearranging them, and I am very very interested to see how she does it next.

My library has finally listed Ha'Penny in the catalog. If I am very unfortunate, my Empire of Ivory hold will come in at the same time.

I was disappointed in Fortress of Ice.

Nonetheless, I look forward to a Cyteen sequel - thanks for the news.

I mainlined Cherryh's '70s - early '90s novels, but didn't warm to her late '90s and '00s work so much. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the Cyteen sequel. (Now, if only we could get another Nighthorse book.)
