imyril: okay, I'd heard of this and somehow got entirely the wrong idea about it. Looking more closely, it sounds far more interesting than I'd realised and I'm suddenly quite excited to read it. It seems to be on offer as an ebook in the UK too!
pwaites: This is one of my favorite books this year. I'd love to read it again as a group.
sandstone78: Gladstone's ongoing series is set in a fantasy world that integrates quite a bit of modern concepts like lawyers and that kind of thing- it sounds like an interesting blend that I've not encountered before.
zjakkelien: I read this while some time ago, and thought it was really good. The world is incredibly original, and that cover is not lying: a black female heroine! Really love that cover...

sandstone78: A story set in a medieval place where not all is what it seems- looking too closely at reviews or tags will spoil what's going on, though, and the experience is quite different knowing. There's lots of room for speculation, but unfortunately the series isn't finished and there is no estimate on the next book's completion.
zjakkelien: One of the best 'forgotten' fantasy books. I don't get why Rosemary Kirstein is not more popular, because her books are really amazing. The world is astonishing. The very concept of a steerswoman I really loved: someone who seeks answers in an almost scientific way. She must answer every question asked of her if she knows the answer, and in turn, other people must answer all her questions, or be banned from getting information from a steerswoman ever. Two heroines, friendship between women, a heroine who is awesome because of her mind; what's not to love?

sandstone78: A standalone about a group of humans, descendants of survivors of a crashed ship, who live in an asteroid among aliens with a rather different family structure than humans. The story is about a woman who lives on the asteroid and what happens once other humans arrive. The setup seems to have some potential.
zjakkelien: This sounds really interesting!

sandstone78: This duology stands alone, but is also one of the recommended entry points for West's long-running Averlaan universe. I've started this one but put it aside due to not being in the mood before, but I'd like to get back to it- this seems like an interesting epic fantasy with a lot going on.
zjakkelien: I read a lot of the other books in this world, but not these two. Perhaps I should...
