Moments of Permanence - Because I need to think about things that are differently stressful, sometimes...

I loved his Sarantine Mosaic although I've heard many complaints from people both in terms of gender, and in terms of 'he just stole everything from history books'.

I also have an utter and unholy love for his 'Lions of Al-Rassan', which again, has been criticised.
I am too biased to care, but I acknowledge the opposing view points for the record. :)

I would be interested to hear what these people think of straight historical fiction, then -- the similarities/parallels to European and Middle eastern history were one of the things I really liked about the Sarantine Mosaic and Last Light of the Sun.
