I'd love a book with Vedero as the main character! But I settle for one from the royal court in general...

It depresses me a little that so many female writers choose to write about men. When I write, my main viewpoint character is almost always female.

I wholeheartedly agree! I really like Addison's writing, for example, but all her main characters are men. I too write almost always from a female POV, that is what interest me the most bot as a writer and a reader.

L. E. Modesitt Jr is new to me. i need to check tme out. :)
