So one of my favorite writers, D.Jackson Leigh, posted this lovely Goodreads review of PotH yesterday, and I only just discovered it:

“I’ve never read a book by this author that I didn’t like and this one is no exception. She’s a fantastic writer of fantasy. Her world-building is impeccable, and her plotting full of twists and turns. “Handmaiden” brings back her much loved characters from “Sword of the Guardian” and continues the story by bringing two new characters to the forefront. There is magic, battle scenes, an unlikely heroine and — I especially like — a maid who never sees her station in life as less than anyone else’s. Great tale, great writing.”

HAPPYDANCE!!! SO MUCH SWOONING!!! This from a writer whose work I adore, and who just released the COOLEST fantasy last month, Dragon Horse War: The Calling, which is about dragon horses. You read that right – dragon horses. It doesn’t get much more epically awesome than horses that turn into dragons at night. Erinda would approve. :P Check out her book and you will see why I am aflutter at the moment…
