"Ladylord" brings something to the world of Fantasy that is rare and truly brilliant. It is nearly impossible to find fantasy books that are based in an Asian-style world alive with a culture vastly different from what may be found in the majority of what is out there.
Javerre is the very image of the strong, willful and motivated female protagonist that is exceedingly popular, but she does not break the mold in which her culture-centered world fixes her in. Her journey is epic enough to satisfy the adventure-junkies out there, and her self reflections and introverted nature will please those who seek a subtle psychological level to their stories. Put together, "Ladylord" is a gem that is denied the credit it is due.
I greatly enjoyed show more this story both as a female and as a fantasy reader -- not something that happens on a regular basis. My thanks to Sasha Miller. show less

With its diverse catalogue of virtues, a generalization about Ladylord might seem difficult to reach – but in fact, that's not the case. What Sasha Miller delivers throughout the novel is highly skilled and meticulous craftsmanship.
