Journal Entry 2 by Elfbiter from Tampere, Pirkanmaa / Birkaland Finland on Friday, December 14, 2007
Received from lady bunrab.
From today's BC meet-up. Thanks! I've read other books by Tanya Huff, but not these two (Valor's Choice and The Better Part of Valor).
Valor's Choice
Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr was a battle-hardened professional. So when she and her platoon were yanked from a well-deserved leave for what was supposed to be "easy" duty as the honor guard for a diplomatic mission to the non-Confederation world of the Silsviss, she was ready for anything. Sure, there'd been rumors of the Others - the sworn enemies of the Confederation - being spotted in this sector of space. But there were always rumors. The key thing was to recruit the Silsviss into the Confederation before the Others attacked or claimed these lizardlike warriors for their side. And everything seemed to be going perfectly. Maybe too perfectly...
The Better Part of Valor
Never tell a two-star general what you really think of him... That was the mistake Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr had made with General Morris. And Torin's reward - or punishment - was to be separated from her platoon and sent off on what might prove an extremely perilous assignment. She was commandeered to protect a scientific expedition to a newly discovered and seemingly derelict spaceship of truly epic proportions. Only time would tell whether the ship was what it appeared to be, or a trap created by the Others - or the work of an unkonwn alien race with an agenda that could prove all too hostile to other life-forms...

The off-the-record reaction of the First Human Contact Team upon meeting the di'Taykan had been, "Holy fuk, they're elves!" That made me laugh. The description of di'Taykan earlier in the book had made me think "oh, these are the elves of this universe - how original", but when the characters themselves joked about it, it didn't bother me one bit after that. All in all, I liked these books and Huff's snappy dialogue. I'm going to read the third book of the series, The Heart of Valor, at some point.
Tanya Huff has written another entertaining book with funny and likeable characters. Thank you for lending the book, Myntti! I did enjoy. :)
Back on my bookshelf, thanks! I'll release this book at Finncon.
