Well, I don't know enough about you to know, BUT if you enjoy reading well written stories with strong women protagonists who think before they act, and you enjoy stories that are character driven rather than action driven, then yes. Extracted from the Amazon description:
Quote:
If you ask, she must answer. A steerswoman's knowledge is shared with any who request it; no steerswoman may refuse a question, and no steerswoman may answer with anything but the truth.

And if she asks, you must answer. It is the other side of tradition's contract -- and if you refuse the question, or lie, no steerswoman will ever again answer even your most casual question.

And so, the steerswomen — always seeking, always investigating — have gathered more and more knowledge about the world they traveled, and they share that knowledge freely.
At $2.99, it's not costing you a great deal, and might provide an entry point into SF&F that could lead to other character-driven authors.

ETA: Oh, and for what it's worth, my DW who routinely gives me a hard time about my SF reading tastes read all four of the books and enjoyed them. There's something quite compelling about Rowan.
