Epona - Keep in mind that C.S. Friedman is a bit on the dark side. What I mean is she usually creates characters that are evil, but have reasons for being evil, and she has a way of writing that makes you care for them. Basically, because of this the books contain a lot of killing. But by the end of the books, things work out in a good way. So it depends on your tastes. I still think she writes brilliantly and I am anxiously awaiting her new one, which I can't find in bookstores, but have seen for sale on the internet. So it must be out, just a matter of time I guess for it to hit the shelves. Also, Moiraine suggested Robin Hobbs to me and they sounded interesting (ships that are alive and communicate with humans).
Yes, I know what you mean, and I do feel sorry for those hundreds of people right this minute sitting in their cars unable to go home because all of the wreckage. They said there was one fatality and the highway will be closed for at least eight hours. Luckily though, they do have the Red Cross out there helping all the people.
