There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I've just started her book, Of Summer and Winter, and it's pretty sharp.  Good characters, great details, and has a way of keeping the tension high while at the same time recreating Byzantium in your head.

Kind of like George RR Martin, without thirty pages devoted to roasted mutton and turnip soup.
