I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

The Steerswoman

Cover of The Steerswoman.

Gooood Fantasy! Highly likable characters, good world, good plot, excellent eye for detail. The concept of a mostly-female order/guild/group of scientifically minded truth seekers is very cool, and yet not overdone. Science Fantasy in an NK Jemisin way. Way to go on the emancipation side: women being equal to men is just a non-issue in all jobs (guards, merchants, sailors, etc).

If I had read this a couple of years ago, I might have been less susceptible to HPMOR.

Good reviews elsewhere:

  • Max Gladstone with comments on moral fantasy and fantasy violence (which are part of the book, but have consequences)
  • Jo Walton with a strong endorsement
