Finished reading: The Steerswoman (Steerswoman Series) by Rosemary Kirstein π
What an enjoyable book. One review describes it as βexcellent female-authored fantasy that had been undeservedly forgotten.β Spot on. The promise of a scholarly protagonist committed to honesty hooked me. The friendships and physics interwoven with classic fantasy elements kept me hooked. Maps! Lore! Jewels! And smart analytical thinking. Loved this one.
