if it's the writing, I can definitely relate! XD (I'm several books behind on Elantra, despite really liking the world and some of the characters, because I need to have a lot of patience to get through each of them...
I think you're not likely to find Earthrise in a library system (at least,mine doesn't have it) or in (decently priced) print form, as I believe they're self-pub. But if you read in e-form, Amazon has the firstbook for $0.99, and is also giving me an option to loan mine, which I'd be happy to do if you're interested :) (I own the sequels also and hopefully they're also loan-able.)
I did not realize that atevi were space elves! (or that the character in your icon was atevi). The universe seems to be throwing Cherryh at me at every turn. Perhaps it is trying to tell me something, but based on my experience so far with Cyteen, she is not a very bingeable author!
I'd not hear of Winds of the Foreland before, but will have to see if the library has any (they seem to be out of print? -ish?)
, because now they've redone all the books with ugly covers I don't want to buy and the local library has a 3-week waiting list for most of them and just doesn't have the rest at all.
Aww! I actually kind of like the minimalist show-based cover, but what I believe were the previous ones are definitely much more colorful and dynamic (and similar in style to the Russian editions I have). From a quick glance at the reissued The Last Wish, it does look like a pretty good translation, though (judging against the Russian one, which I've been told is very close to the original), and I'd heard that the earlier English translations were not great.
but some of her other titles sound promisingly elfy. :D
