Jane Lindskold's Thirteen Orphans
Nov. 26th, 2008 10:47 pmI just finished reading Thirteen Orphans: Breaking the Wall, which is the first book in a new series by Jane Lindskold (oddly enough).
It is about as different from her Wolf books as those are from either Changer or Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls (which is on my list of top books (not just fantasy) ever).
It's set in modern America, with a mixed heritage heroine - Chinese-American. The essence of the conflict within is based upon Chinese mythology and the Immortals as depicted in the Chinese zodiac.
I enjoyed both story and characters - and will wait, quite eagerly if impatiently, for the next installment.
