I was introduced to Martha Wells’ books earlier this year through this squee post<\/a> by Kate Elliott (whose work I love, as I’ve mentioned before on this blog). <\/p>\n

I’m so glad I discovered Martha Wells! I’ve been reading everything of hers that I’ve been able to get my hands on. Wells is an amazing worldbuilder – such unique, well-thought-out worlds – but more than that, she’s a great storyteller. I’ve nommed all her books really quickly, because the plots progress with such addictive pacing that I don’t want to put them down. <\/p>\n

I’ve especially loved the Fall of Ile-Rien Trilogy<\/a> (among the best books I’ve read this year, by far! such amazing characters and world and asdgjhsdgl squee), and the Books of the Raksura<\/a>. I’m currently reading the third book of the Raksura, The Siren Depths<\/em> (after swiftly devouring the second book The Serpent Sea<\/em>), and had to consciously stop myself from gulping it down all in one sitting. (I had things to do today, after all.) I just love Wells’ characters, her settings, just, all of it. I can only hope to be as good a writer as her some day. <\/p>\n

In conclusion: wow, much awesome, such addictive. Do yourself a favour and read Martha Wells. I’m going to go and read some more of The Siren Depths<\/em> in bed now. Will try not to stay up too late… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
