Even Anne McCaffrey or C. J. Cherryh. Well, yes. But mostly their narratives don't pass. Cherryh and Bujold both have lots of strong female characters. But mostly, they don't talk to each other, except about men. ... (Rimrunners, for example, passes the Bechdel Test more strongly than most Cherryh novels, by two brief conversations that Bet has with her bunkmate, apologising for breaking the hygiene regs on her first night, and with the ship's doctor, claiming she walked ... - Tor.com / Science fiction and fantasy / Blog posts / Martial art ...
Martial art fantasy: C.J. Cherryh's The Paladin. Jo Walton · The Paladin (Baen, 1988) is not like anything else Cherryh has written. It isn't really fantasy—or it's fantasy in the same way Swordspoint is, or The Lions of Al-Rassan, it takes place in a ....

C.J. Cherryh is one of my favourite writers. She's very versatile and extremely prolific—she's written science fiction and fantasy in many different worlds and styles. Gate of Ivrel (1976), Well of Shiuan (1978), Fires of Azeroth (1979 and .... For a more spaceship-oriented one, Downbelow Station is the famous one, but I think Rimrunners is a better novel.

I hold the belief that CJ Cherryh's style of writing has changed (eased, perhaps) a little as the series developed, to the benefit of the reader. I find I can enjoy the twisted plots more nowadays and have less struggle understanding ... Even the human-centric books in the Union/Alliance tales such as "Rimrunners" or "Hellburner" deal with such odd cultures with their own mores and jargon, and people who are basically broken, that a lot of her work is very difficult to ...
