I’ll check that out. I’ve read some of Kings works, and the writing can be quite good, but the subject matter disturbing. Her “Forging Zero” makes Ender’s Game seem like puppies and rainbows.
Let me add Connie Suttle to the list of good writers on KU. She’s a good genre fiction writer with a fatal flaw, she can’t stick to a genre. I read the first books in her Blood Destiny Urban Fantasy series and thought, “This is great! Why haven’t I heard of Connie Suttle before?” A book or two later I found out, “Wait, WTF? Why are there space aliens in this book?”
Suttle does this with pretty much all her series, which are pretty good right up until she tosses in her genre gulash into the mix. It’s not a fun “Wow, what a cool mash up” kind of mix but more of a “What the eff is going on here” sort of thing. Still, the books are really good until she runs out of ideas and tosses in her usual response to the series.
