I had the same reaction to Pinhoe - just didn't feel right, characters or anything.
(I'm thinking of focussing on familiarising the unfamiliar alternative fantasy landscape with local referents, relating to the O books and Elizabeth Knox's Dreamhunter duet. As part of that I'll need to at least mention what the two do in their other books, but my supervisor is insistent I not overextend and end up with enough ideas for a Master's, yet! Also have been slack and not yet read the Salt books, alas.)
