About me30 something, live in New Zealand, big time reader, mostly of SF and Fantasy - preferring Fantasy a lot more, enjoying reading new Urban/Paranormal authors
About my library85% SF and Fantasy books, and remaining mostly reference books - lots and lots of cooking, some gardening, assorted hobby topics (mosaics lacemaking papermaking photography ) etc
Note: I do not actually *own and have copies* of everything listed on my LT - its also a way to keep track of what I have read but not got (ie thru a library) and also keep track of upcoming books on my wishlist - anything I own is tagged "got"

Jennifer Fallon's books seem interesting - I'll buy one or two when I next go to a bookshop ;)
As for Fiona McIntosh - I've read her Trinity trilogy and found it predictable in it's overall plot. Has her writing style improved in her Myrrens Gift trilogy? If not then i'll have to give it a miss i'm afraid.

Happier endings, most with a light love theme - Juliet Marillier's books.
Characters with nice edges - similar to Kristine Smith - try R. M. Meluch, The Myriad books. Very quick moving and fun, with involved characters. If you never tried Jennifer Roberson, do! Particularly her Tiger and Del books.
Pleased to hear from you!

It's just wonderful, highly unusual, has GREAT characters - very moving. Given your author preferences, I think, you may love this story - it's a great favorite of mine.
And - you have probably already read Sarah Zettel? You'd love her stuff, if not....either SF, or her Isavalta fantasies - everything she's done is very top notch. Again, that quality to the characters....
