Young Woman in a Garden: Hodgell Baen June Trade Paperback. The Kencyrath composed of three completely different races have been bound together by their mostly absent god to fight the encroaching evil of Perimal Darking.
They retreat from world to world as Perimal Darking consumes the Chain of Creation. They have resided on Rathilien for ages. In Sea of Time , Jame has passed by the skin of her teeth the trials of the military academy and is assigned to her first post. In her usual fashion of slipping into odd corners and asking uncomfortable questions, she finds herself wrapped up in local politics and theology. Apparently, the arrival of the Kencyrath on this world caused a historical anomaly that is beginning to resolve itself, which affects trade, politics, and Knorth family history.
Charles Collins
I do not recommend starting with Sea of Time , although it is an excellent installment in an often overlooked series. Now that Baen has re-issued the beginning volumes in two omnibus editions, you no longer have to search through used book stores and online marketplaces. I love the wide variety of people Hodgell gives us, including high lords, common soldiers, tavern keepers, and fellow cadets. Jame has a real talent for making both friends and enemies as she crashes through established society.
She destroys that which is stagnant or rotten so that new, healthy growth has room to thrive. The emerging picture of the Kencyrath and Rathilien being on the verge of massive, mythic happenings keeps me excited for the next volumes. Please, ignore the bad, Baen-ish cover art to discover an astoundingly original, strong female protagonist in Jamethiel of Knorth.

City of Heavenly Fire is the sixth and final installment of the Mortal Instruments young adult urban fantasy series. The series was originally supposed to be a trilogy, ending with City of Glass , before Clare decided to extend it another three books.
City of Heavenly Fire follows Shadowhunter Sebastian Morgenstern, who has chosen to turn against his kind and ally with demons in a bid to take over not only our world, but the demon realms. Now, Sebastian is determined to turn as many Shadowhunters as possible so he can get revenge on those who wronged him namely his Shadowhunter mother, Jocelyn, his sister, Clary, and her boyfriend, Jace, of whom Sebastian is jealous and rule the world. The war that he creates pits Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter and strains their fragile alliances with the faeries, vampires, werewolves and warlocks, threatening to send the entire magical world into chaos and, ultimately, ruin.
While I was hoping for a little more dramatic of a conclusion, I have to say I enjoyed this book. That may be because the group of five Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Alec, and Simon were together through most of the book, giving the story a great group dynamic. Many of the characters retained the signature qualities that made me fall in love with them, while Jace and Simon matured to men who think of others before themselves.
Simon, too, matures admirably, allowing him to make decisions that change the fate of everyone involved, especially his own. In many ways, the story is about relationships, with others and with ourselves. The prologue and a subplot are devoted to introducing the next generation of Shadowhunters and getting us to like them enough to want to read their story. Similarly, the frequent nods to the Infernal Devices series the prequel series to this one, set in the Victorian era also drove me crazy.
I just wanted to know what happened in this story. But, thankfully, that was something I was able to look beyond. Despite these shortcomings, City of Heavenly Fire is a good conclusion to the series.

The New Visions Award is accepting submissions until October For that it would have to offer some actual insight or something. Still, I think a good way to summarize me is with the way I excuse most of my behavior: You're only as old as your youngest child. I would like to believe that I am better able to understand the world than he was, but I don't even pretend to be in better touch with it.
I spend a lot of time tilting at windmills - and a lot of time being defeated by them. Are you an author?
