Response and Reaction:
I also enjoy seeing fantasy series with heroines for the main characters that have young women as the target audience. The fantasy loving female is often a neglected demographic. Excellent writing makes this an enjoyable read. Taylor has a fun time playing with font to show the size of growing Api'Naga.
