Which was most enjoyable, with Harriet playing a leading role.
Then I read
The Scandalous Duchess by Anne O'Brien. Set in the latter half of the 1300s in England, it follows the life of Katherine Swynford, one of the minor nobility who became the mistress and later wife of John of Gaunt.
It was OK. I didn't get enough of a feeling that the story was actually in the 1300s, despite mentions of historical events.
Next up was
The Magic Three of Solatia by Jane Yolen. It turned out to be a sweet fairy tale, a quick read.
Next up:
Alternities by Michael P. Kube-McDowell. This month's Phoenix Pick freebie, and apparently a tale of alternate time lines.
