It's set in a world where each god has dedicated servants and Stephen is a paladin who belongs to a god that dies. This book is a blend of fantasy and romance. Honestly I'm just fed up with constantly reading about how much Stephen wants to have a peak at Grace's chest. Middle-aged protagonists, authorial humor, and all.Īll set in the world of The Clocktaur War duology, also recommended. If you liked the author's Swordheart, one of my faves, well, here's a triple dip of more like it. I did not get hung up the second attempt (though all three volumes have some quite grisly bits), breezed through the second book which turned out to have my second-favorite character, a most unusual nun, and quite enjoyed the third which had all the developments for my character-of-interest I could have desired. In order to get properly to him, I circled back to the beginning.
But I ended up reading the Kindle sample of the third on some random browse, and was quite taken with one of the main characters, the lich-doctor (coroner, and what a great fantasy job title for it) Piper. I'd started Paladin's Grace quite a while ago, but hung up on the horror elements. I much prefer this style to dragging out the first romance absurdly far with endless interruptions or, worse, take-backs. When she is not writing, she is probably out in the garden, trying to make eye contact with butterflies.Also the two sequels, Paladin's Strength and Paladin's Hope, which are a braided trilogy of the structure familiar to Romance readers, where each of some association of persons - siblings, workmates, team members, whatever - gets their One True Love, not smoothly, but the setting or plot is drawn out to further volumes with another supporting character from the first round getting their romance. Her work includes multiple fairy-tale retellings and odd little stories about elves and goblins. This is the name she uses when writing things for grown-ups. She has been nominated for the World Fantasy and the Eisner, and has won the Hugo, Sequoyah, Nebula, Alfie, WSFA, Coyotl and Ursa Major awards, as well as a half-dozen Junior Library Guild selections.
In another life, she writes children's books and weird comics. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen-name of Ursula Vernon, an author from North Carolina. and the sword itself may prove to be the greatest threat of all.Ĭontributor Bio(s): Kingfisher, T.: - T.
