I don't care for second person present tense, but new writer (Cruel Beauty) Rosamund Hodge makes it work.

Katherine Eliska Kimbriel's dark, inexorably building magic-out-west YA, Kindred Rites. (It's second book in a series, but readers can pick up the story just fine.)

Off topic but I've posted a follow up to your post of the 18th today. I don't know if you've seen Paris Lees' article on the issue?

I just caught your post!

What great names in Cruel Beauty--Ignifex. I like that!

The author draws a lot on mythology, and there are echoes of C.L. Lewis's wonderful Till We Have Faces.

Ooh, I loved Til We Have Faces!

Oh, goodie. I enjoyed Kimbriel's first book.

Kimbriel also has three wonderful Sf books -Fires of Nuala is the first. Nuala is a fascinating planet.
