My mom-in-law loaned me a most awesome trilogy of novels called Queen of the Orcs (King's Property, Clan Daughter & Royal Destiny), by Morgan Howell. I'm just starting the third book, having devoured the first two earlier this week. It's been awhile since something grabbed me like these books have. The storyline is excellent and the characters are interesting, deep and dynamic. The author's use of language makes for a richly developed world.
After reading Holly Lisle's Create a Language Clinic I pondered how I might incorporate a made-up language into my writing. These books have shown me how it's done.
So, shashav, Morgan Howell. You rock.
