Worthy sequel to Scout's Progress, but not much new, May 28 2010
By James McCain - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Mouse And Dragon (Hardcover)
I'm a fan of the whole Liaden series, and was pleased at this chance to revisit the older generation of Clan Korval. The book picks up just before the end of Scout's Progress, with Aelliana at Healer's Hall, and the majority of the book takes place in the year immediately following that. The book mostly continues the plots established in Scout's Progress (the aftermath of everything with Aelliana's brother, including new conflict with Aelliana's delm; Daav and Aelliana working her ship; etc.). The one negative thing I have to say about the book is that, in some ways, it feels like the characters have moved backwards from the end of Scout's Progress, as the authors stretch out the "will they/won't they" plot of the original (although to be fair, Mouse and Dragon may be more of a "can they/can't they" plot). Despite those hesitations, Mouse and Dragon is a great addition to the Liaden Universe and anyone who liked Scout's Progress will definitely want to pick up a copy of the follow-on. (For those new to the series, Scout's Progress -- which is currently available in the compilation volume The Dragon Variation (Liaden) -- should definitely be read first).

*happy sigh*, Jun 11 2010

This review is from: Mouse And Dragon (Hardcover)
For a fan and reader of the series, this book is a welcome addition filling a hole in the overall timeline and story that had begged filling. A new reader might be a little confused without any previous introduction to the series as it jumps right into the story where the another book (Scout's Progress) left off. I recommend reading at least Scout's Progress before reading this one. There is less action in this book then in some of the others instead it focuses more on the characters. Still there was never a moment that I felt like setting the book down from anything less then necessity. If you wish more action, I recommend starting with Agent of Change and then moving on to Carpe Diem, Plan B, and I, Dare. These contain the overall plot arc that provides the action to most of the series. Beyond that, I can only say that this is one of my most favorite series and one of the few I read over and over again. If you dive into this world you will not regret it and will soon be like the rest of its fans waiting eagerly for the next installment.

Another winner, July 20 2010
By Patricia Bray - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mouse And Dragon (Hardcover)
I've been a fan of Lee and Miller's Liaden novels from the very beginning, and I'm thrilled to report that MOUSE AND DRAGON is a fantastic addition to this universe.While recovering at homewith a bum ankle, a friend sent me a care package from Amazon.com that included MOUSE AND DRAGON, and I devoured the book in a single evening. Adventure, humor, romance, political scheming, all the hallmarks of a Liaden adventure, with characters that you care passionately about. New fans and old will enjoy this tale.
Go, read, enjoy!
