Summary:
To my mind, the best female fantasy character is Tiana of Reme, highrider,pirateand heroine of an S&S trilogy by Andrew J. Offut and Richard Lyon. The last
book of the three , _Web of the Spider_ is an extraodinary book, much better
than the other two and I heartily reccommend it. There are some images
in that one that have really stuck with me (the hungry apples, the scene
depicted in the Rowena cover , the Owner, and Caranga watching a world
too real to be bourne as absolute good and absolute evil play for his world,
knowing a victory for either will doom humanity).
If you ever had any urge to read S&S with a female protagonist, get this book.
BTW, also get Jo Clayton's Moon books (esp _Moonscatter_). Altys of her Diadem
books isn't bad either.
