I was recently looking at getting one of her books. Would you recommend Karavans to a new reader? Or should a new reader start with an earlier book?

Her newest series
Karavans is one of my favorites, o..."Yes! I agree. Waiting patiently for the third book in this series.
Nienna, I would definitely recommend Karavans to new readers.Her Cheysuli Chronicles were where I started, many years ago.
I kinda like the Cheysuli books and Tiger and Dell. For some reason, I couldn't get into Karavans
Oh, I see from my review of book 2 that I held off on book 3 because I heard it ends in a cliffhanger. So it's book 4 I'm waitin on.I liked Tiger and Del, although it was hard to find all of them when I was reading them. And couldn't find Cheylusi.

Ooo...I should warn....the series Karavans isn't finished yet. I think she has one more to write.
So..you might want to start with another, depending on how you read.
I just noticed I *did* buy one. Oops. I got Sword-Dancer. I bought it after seeing her mentioned in another thread. :)
I have not read all of Jennifer Roberson's books.Those I have, I liked.
Tiger and Del....two thumbs up.
:D

As for Cheysuli....some of the books were combined in later releases.
ie~Shapechangers and Song of Homana were combined into Shapechanger's Song.

Jennifer Roberson just announced that the first 3 books of he Cheysuli Chronicles are available in e book.Shapechangers: Book 1, The Song Of Homana, and Legacy of the Sword. She said she hoped the others would soon follow, but isn't sure when. Publishers!

This is one of the series I've been wanting in ebook for ages, so I'm hugely disappointed.
I'm sure that authors aren't thrilled either.Got my fingers crossed for you.
Thanks, Brenda. I know it isn't the authors' faults, but it's still hugely frustrating as a reader.
I hear you.:)
Sometimes I do forget. Thanks for the reminder.
I thought I read somewhere she was going to write a few more Cheysuli books? Anyone heard anything about that, or is it just wishful thinking on my part?
Yes, she is. I'll try to find the post and share it.
Well, I couldn't find Jennifer Robertson's post about her books, but I did find an interview that discusses them briefly.She has planned for 3 more evidently, one will be a prequel.

I just realised, it's an old interview, but I'm on her Facebook and she did say something recently.
Thanks. I'm glad I didn't imagine it. :)
Last I heard (again from her Facebook) she said she was working on a new Del & Tiger novel, which made me very happy.
Glad to hear of that as well. These series are some of my favorites from my teenage and college years. Would love to revisit them. 8)
