RATING/WARNING(S): General audiences.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 6273 | Complete.
MAIN CHARACTERS: Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau, Nealan of Queenscove, Jonathon of Conte.

FIC SUMMARY: Alanna and Neal investigate rumors of bandits. Along the way, Alanna is confronted with the consequences of the decision Jonathan made at the commencement of his reign and has to square the need to punish the families of conspirators from a coup twenty years old against her sense of honor.

RECCER'S NOTES: Reassuringly Pierce-like and the characters are sympathetically handled. A deceptively easy read with neat banter between Neal and Alanna. Made me want to read the books all over again.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Keladry of Mindelan; ensemble

FIC SUMMARY: After Kel breaks orders and invades Scanra to rescue her Haven civilians in Lady Knight, she is found guilty of treason in wartime.
She escapes with the help of friends and does the only thing Kel could ever conceive of doing in that instance-- she keeps fighting Tortall's war.
This is Kel, however; she is always willing to fight her battles alone, but people will always rise up to fight alongside her.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is beautiful. I love the use of the language, descriptive and evocative. It captures the characters with few words, but they shine brightly.
Love Keladry here, never givin up. Learning and growing, and just so awesome.
