My first recommendation!
All tagged strong female characters
The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley
Peak nostalgia.
Far Edge of Darkness by Linda Evans
The 1990s are back with more time travel drama.
An Alien Light by Nancy Kress
Other reviews I’ve read for An Alien Light make me want to start a fight.
Two-Bit Heroes by Doris Egan
I needed a win, so I pulled out some Doris Egan. <3
Daughters of Earth by Judith Merril
Daughters of Earth is a trio of sci-fi stories. The front cover claims they’re novels. They aren’t. Some of them might be novellas. Others are … novelettes? It doesn’t matter. They’re definitely stories, and thus I shall call them.
The Serpent by Jane Gaskell
That cover got me some stares from the so-religious-he-won’t-sit-next-to-women guy on the bus. Would recommend.
The Gate of Ivory by Doris Egan
I loved this book so much, I started tweeting again. How’s that for a rousing endorsement?
The Golden Torc by Julian May
Hey there! Do not read this review unless you’ve read The Many Colored Land. As this is book two of The Saga of Pliocene Exile, it’s impossible to write a review that doesn’t spoil The Many Colored Land.
The Many Colored Land by Julian May
This is one of the best books I've read in years, and I am utterly baffled that The Many Colored Land didn't really survive in the collective memory, despite being nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards.
