Surpising, engaging science fiction!
Richly detailed science fiction; good characterization with many sympathetic characters and a twisty plot. The reader learns Jamisia's "skill" long before she herself does, so there's lots of interesting tension as we wait for her to figure it out before the bad guys capture her. The various cultures are great, would like to see more books in this universe.
