Reading year in review

['thul]

Some female writers you may like:
- Mickey Zucker Reichert. The Renshai books and the nightfall books are very good reads.

So that author is female... these beings were unsure...
Good books, though...

Two more:

- Manda Scott: Boudica quadrilogy. Historical fiction based on queen Boudica (Boadicea), an Iceni warrior queen who lived around 60 AC.
- Jude Fisher: Fool's gold. A bit standard 'vikings vs arab society' fantasy, but it's a nice read. Ending feels a bit rushed though.

But really. Read Mary Gentle. I know it's blasphemous to write this here, but I love her books more than Robin Hobb's.

One more female author:

Marjorie B. Kellogg - The dragon quartet. A bit too 'eco' (and no, I don't mean Umberto) from time to time, but I really liked these four books.

Yeah it stuck in my mind and I only read it recently.... but don't ask me where I read it cos I've already forgotten!!
It could have been an old comment... she might have a new fav now.

I think I read recently that GRRM is actually Robin Hobb's FAVOURITE author. That's pretty high praise in my book.

I knew he was one of her favorite authors, but all the way at the top of the list? In all interviews that I have read, she refuses to name a single favorite and lists a handful of writers. GRRM does often happen to be on that list.

Also Joost great suggestions, there's some authors there I've been thinking of maybe trying out so now I will have to!
