I've not yet read these series though I have read the New Sun books, and was
wondering if those who have would be interested in sharing their thoughts
re:
-Which of these two you prefer, and why
A) Long Sun/Short Sun is a single novel in my opinion in the same
way...oh...The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are a single
movie.
B) I enjoyed reading the Long Sun more. The Long Sun definitely feels like a
more accessible read although it is multiple strata deeper than you think
when reading it the first time or after you have finished it. But you won't
understand a lot of what is going on until you get to the Short Sun (the
other half of the story). The Short Sun is harder...like The New Sun.
Reading it I had the same constant feeling of unbalance...of being painfully
aware that I wasn't sure what was going on.
-How these tow and New Sun relate
Its in the same universe. It is best that you have read New Sun first...but
not absolutely essential.
