I have been meaning to read these books for the longest time. I'd picked up books 2 & 3 from the second hand bookstore a few years ago, but of course, held off until I could find book 1. Well, finally, they came out in Ebook omnibus for a really great price - $2.99 - and who could resist that!So.....
Why didn’t I read this earlier? It’s a delightful example of character-based science fiction, with wonderful worldbuilding and characters. The plot is plotty enough to not distract from the real heart of the story, which is Tess and her journey. That’s a lot more coherent than I felt when I finished...
Not exactly what I was expecting; Jaran reads like a fantasy but with other planets and an alien race thrown in. I was expecting more scifi. I liked this book but it took a really long time to get into. It was rather boring for a long time. There was a lot about Tess learning the culture, the langu...
So I give up on this book. I’m simply not in the mood for this and honestly I couldn’t care less about the plot, its characters or the intrigue. This really isn’t a bad novel in itself.

My reluctance to re-read blurbs before beginning a book pays off again! I had no idea what to expect from Jaran, except that I love Kate Elliott's writing and was looking forward to reading some science fiction by her (having previously only read the Crossroads books). Jaran begins slowly, a little ...
So so good!Really! It really really is...4.5Stars... but not quite 5 hence I rounded it down.This is a re-release and to be honest I was baffeled that I missed this. I could have sworn I read all of Kate Elliotts books. After reading this I did a search around and realised that I it wasn't at my loc...
The first book I've read solely by Kate Elliott, and the first she published (under this name.)I'm not sure why I hadn't read anything by her previously, as I did love 'The Golden Key,' which she co-wrote.'Jaran' was good enough that I'm now planning of reading more from her. It was a very enjoyabl...
