Just coincidentally I happen to be reading the Northshore/Southshore duo. I am halfway through and she really did a good job writing from small scale to large scale events while avoiding infodumps. I feel like she is making me work a little more than usual as a reader, extrapolating from what we know, but I like that.
The 'world building' is superb. I imagine others might pick apart certain details but I really like the sense of constant exploration with the gentle pace she reveals this fantasy world to us. As soon as you think you know one faction, race, or societal feature reasonably well she moves on to another by changing the POV in rational yet unanticipated directions.
