Daughters of Earth
Three vintage science-fiction stories, one painfully misogynistic and two extraordinary. An intimate multigenerational history of women exploring space and a telepathic encounter between a stranded child and an alien mother make this collection well worth reading.
The Gate of Ivory
A pragmatic young woman stranded on a magical planet finds friendship, intrigue, and a wonderfully unconventional family. Clever, funny, deeply human, and an absolute delight from beginning to end.
Gifts of Blood
A collection of strange, beautifully imagined stories about healing vampires on the Russian steppes, plus an alien invasion and a musical spider. Rich in mythology and prose, if sometimes light on plot.
The Seventh Gate
The breathtaking conclusion to Seven Citadels left me sobbing at one in the morning. A remarkable story of complicated friendships, physical beauty, and the painful, wonderful realities of being human.
Children of the Wind
The second Seven Citadels adventure deepens its wonderfully human characters, explores faith and philosophy without preaching, and introduces an argumentative companion and a delightful cat.
Prince of the Godborn
An unassuming little YA fantasy novel that delivers wonderfully authentic sibling relationships, fascinating theological questions, and characters I'd happily read about going grocery shopping.
