He does have some slightly annoying tics as a stylist, but these three books are great stories.

I'm not sure why so many female writers write male heroes. I've never quite been able to figure it out, myself. One of the reasons I didn't read much science fiction as a child was that I wanted to read about girls, not boys. It wasn't until I found Andre Norton that I started going through science fiction authors. Although Robert Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars nearly stopped me in my tracks.

Yeah, I do enjoy Addison's spin-off books, but I really want more of the royal court. And it's one of the reasons I read only a few of Lois McMaster Bujold's books. She is a good storyteller, but... Ah, well, sigh.

I am now reading some books by a new author, Nicole Glover. I'm started with her debut: The Conductors. The viewpoint character in this is female, and POC, and lives in post-Civil War Philadelphia. So far, I'm finding it interesting. I really have to finish it before I know how I feel about it.
