I have read 3 of her books, and really liked them all.

Swordspoint was my favorite, and lst year (I think) they released book two, but I can't remember what is was called. It wasn't as good, but it was still decent.

I also read Thomas the Ryhmer, which was a very good retelling of a classic story.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed all three of her books as well. Swordspoint is my favorite too, and I remember telling Slash he should try it. Not sure if he has. Fall of the Kings was good... not your typical fantasy story at all, though. Part of why I really enjoyed it, I think. In the middle of Thomas the Rhymer now.

Thomas the Rymer was a bit slow to catch my interest, I think, but I ended up loving it.

I really didn't like Fall of teh Kings as much, even though I could see whare it was going 3/4th the way through it. I kept waiting for something to happen and divert the conclusion, but nothing did.

I don't want to post any spoilers, so I am being circumspect there, but if you ahve read it then you know what I mean.

Have you read any stories that remind you of Swordspoint?

I like some (NOT all) of Jennnifer Robersons books, the Tiger and Del books. They were told in the first person, and the climate and circumstances were very different from Swordspoint, but they both have a really cool feel to them. The first book was called Sword Dancer, I think.
