[Transentient]

Did you really mean to include Short Sun in the list of books / series  
that are not the same? And not Knight / Wizard?

What strikes me about the later books is that the narrative itself  
feels more coherent and the books are smoother from start to finish. I  
think you can see this with Solider of Sidon which has a dramatically  
different feel that the previous two books. It is like the machinery  
for producing the story went from analogue to digital. Short Sun is  
kind of a transitionary series.
