I’m working my way through “The Children of the Jedi” by Barbara Hambly, one of the less enjoyable books actually so far, I think it’s just the author. They’ve introduced some characters and ideas as stuff you should already know. Seems like they wanted to flesh those stories out later?

After I’m reading another collection in the same theme as the last, it’s still Asimovs “wonderful worlds of science fiction”, but instead of empires this one is Spaceships.
