Writing - Alesha, Who Smiles at Death - The Truth of Names
Wizards posted this yesterday. When I read things like this, it reminds me that the world we knew of twenty years ago has changed, is changing, and is different. It's not changing perhaps as fast as we'd like, or without the growing pains...but it is getting better. It's a story about a woman, who holds equal footing in a fantasy setting as any male counterpart (perhaps in truth more than equal footing), and it's a story about strength.
Give it a read.
