I liked both titles, but I'm not fussy about those.  Bad cover art,
otoh...

`Beguilement' and `Legacy' didn't seem to particularly counterbalance
each other, but the above certainly do, in an appealing way.

Only problem is, never seen a blue river: always seem to be grey, or
brown, really.  Lakes, yes:  tahoe is gorgeously blue.  The Saint Claire
river, and is midwestern, if not ohioan,  is blue-green, but is more of
a straight.   

So um, mebbe _The long blue water_?

But I hate coming up with titles to things, so I'm not a good person to
ask.  If the books are to be read 1-2-3-4, absolutely, `The Sharing
Knife, Volume X needs to stay, though.  No sense in frustrating people
with the middle book syndrome.  Hate that.  Right now, Scalzi's first
(published) novel _Old Man's War_ is missing, so I'm unwilling to check
out the other two which they have, cuz I know at least one of 'em's a
sequel.
