A Sadly Overlooked Tale, Mar 1 2009
By Lalaith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Spirit Gate (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite books of all time - the plot is intriguing, the characters are three dimensional, and the world is both very original, and yet familiar enough that it might be part of our own world long ago and far away.
Probably my favorite part of this book is the gender play - the idea that certain magic's come easier to each gender, and their subsequent interactions with each other.

Tired of unicorns and quests? Here's something new!, July 10 1998

A splendid tale of magic and intrigue, with an interesting, unusual protagonist. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'd say more, but the author has already said it better in her note above!
