Fledgling

Has any one read it? I read the Parable books. She is really a great writer, I can't wait to read this one

1. Great!
I really like what I've read of hers; although, I admit I've not read that many of them.

I enjoy reading SF&F by female authors - they usually have such a different outlook on life. (Though not always.)

2. She was on Democracy Now
with Amy Goodman recently

I was really excited to see her and she was wonderful

A majestic black matriarch with a great booming voice

3. I read the Parable books too.
They were good...and scary. It's easy to see the US like that in the near future.
