Cast in Shadows
Definitely a must read and an up-coming author.
Michelle Sagara's probably one of the most interesting fantasy writer's I've come across in a while. She creates an interesting and unique fantasy world with multiple races vying for supermacy and a nasty, nasty bad guy. And unlike many female writers, she doesn't let the 'romance' take over from the story. Which is great, considering my own taste leads to more action and less people. Still, we shall have to see where she goes from here.
