Jaine Fenn's novels

I recently borrowed 'Principles of Angels' and 'Consorts of Heaven' from [personal profile] cdave .  I enjoyed them both.  I'm too bleary (throat infection) to go into details, but if you like novels that are primarily character-driven than these will probably appeal.

They're 'SF-lite' in that it's more about the characters than the setting, but I enjoyed the world backgrounds as well.

'Consort of Heaven' has a well-drawn female protagonist (who is neither young, ravishingly beautiful, nor a military genius), which probably accounts for this being my favourite of the two.

The two books are set in the same universe, but could be read in either order as the settings are independent.

I'll happily buy the next novel by Janie Fenn when it comes out.
