I'm getting so many good recommendations and I'm so happy I posted this.

Before you read The Daughters War check out The Blacktongue Thief. And if you like that, I'd also recommend Between Two Fires. Christopher Buehlman is fantastic.

I went scrabbling through my lending library to find good stuff when I saw this.

I love these posts.

If you want recommendations, let me know a few things you loved and I'll send more your way!

I'm a massive quality snob so you'll get no low-grade prose in anything I send you.

Please do!

I've put loads of stuff in the thread but what I'm saying is let me know a couple of books you've enjoyed and then I can narrow it down a bit.
