The only thing I have read of Cherryh's was many years ago. I started
"The Faded Sun: Kesrith" I think it was, and kind of bounced off it. The
"Mri"(?) seemed like Fremen or jihadists in robes and swords, and I just
couldn't get into it. But as I say, it was many years ago, and I may be
mis-remembering. She has been around a long time and written many books,
and seems to be popular still, so maybe I should try something of hers
again.
