I finished reading Sword, by Amy Bai, Sunday afternoon. Within three minutes of finishing it, I’d sent her an email telling her how much I loved it. I’m pretty sure I managed to keep the gushing to a minimum, and it wasn’t a long email or anything, but seriously – I really liked this book. (Also, I love the internet. I’m not one for sending fanmail under normal circumstances, and if I’d had to write an actual letter and put postage on it and mail it, I NEVER would have done it. This way is so much easier.) I’m pretty sure it’s the opener to a series, but it doesn’t have to be. It IS her first book, which makes me happy for her and sad for me. She doesn’t have anything else for me to read! What am I going to do?
Here’s how I heard of her: The Big Idea: Amy Bai, on John Scalzi’s blog. I bought the book within a day of reading that. (It’s only $4.99 for Kindle right now, by the way.)

Ok. I’m going to read the sample. No promises. I’ll review it afterward. (It better be good!)

It’s fantasy – you probably won’t be interested.
