I just read the short story Why Is Nothing Ever Simple? by Jodi Taylor, which is part of her brilliant St Mary Chronicles series which I have devoured several times now.
I am now back to An Echo of Things to Come, second book in the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington.
They are intersting books but I am not 100% enchanted with them. It is getting harder to find something really good though, especially in Epic Fantasy, at the moment it seems. :/
