Story! Yuletide recs

[sonia]

a knock at your front door by anonymous, Chalion Saga, World of Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold. Five Gods in modern times. Vividly written, highly recommended.

The long way out of a dark tower by Anonymous, The Tower at Stony Wood - Patricia A. McKillip. I'm a longtime McKillip fan for the RiddleMaster of Hed series and Forgotten Beasts of Eld, and I thought I had read everything she wrote, including this one, but the characters didn't sound familiar at all. I'll have to go back and find it. Anyway, you don't have to know canon, lovely story.

I just read the Chalion story - thank you so much for the recommendation! Curse of Chalion is one of my very favorite fantasy-religion books, and I'm delighted that people are writing more stories in that world.

I recently reread Tower at Stony Wood, I look forward to the fic! There was a period when McKillip was turning out a fantastic new book about every 2 years, we have most of them (almost everything from Atrix Wolfe through Bards of Bone Plain). My personal favorite of the line is Song for the Basilisk.. hmm, time for a reread of that too!

Glad the stories resonate for you! I requested Tower at Stony Wood from the library, so I'll get to (re)read it soon.

Thanks for the book list! I missed some of them for sure. I still have The Changeling Sea and Fool's Run.
