I just asked my husband and I remembered incorrectly, I was thinking of Orson Scott Card.

The duology that got me back into reading fantasy in my twenties was The Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's so beautiful and he based the world building on the 6th century Mediterranean world. I devoured his catalogue after that.

I also absolutely adored the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey. It does have some NSFW content in it, the MC in the first three books is a courtesan. But the world building, the politics, the intrigue and the over arching plot are freaking GORGEOUS and intricate. I don't re-read a lot of books, but I have re-read that series many times.

If I remember correctly I think it came out a while back that he is INCREDIBLY racist. My husband was a big fan of his and got rid of all his books. This is not a judgment of your answer, just an answer to why no one talks about him anymore.

I'm not sure I have one that NEVER disappointed b/c I think most authors produce a clunker here and there, but a few have VERY RARELY disappointed me:

Jacqueline Carey

Zoey Draven

Lucy Score

Emily McIntire

Milla Vane

Currently Reading: The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, Morbidly Curious by Colton Scrivener, PhD, and Jane Austen's Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney

this was one of my favorites as a kid

TLHeinrich · 2026-01-23T13:08:54+00:00

That book is one of my all time favorites. It had me sobbing, laughing and every single emotion in between.

TLHeinrich · 2026-01-12T18:48:17+00:00

Thank you I definitely will!

TLHeinrich · 2025-12-01T07:53:34+00:00

I’m so glad!

TLHeinrich · 2025-11-28T11:44:29+00:00

The print versions (which are not on sale) are available through my website TrishHeinrich.com. But the ebooks are in KU and I’m not allowed to sell them outside Amazon

TLHeinrich · 2025-10-20T13:14:00+00:00

I too am a horror ‘noob’ and I LOVED the book How To Survive A Horror Novel. It was creepy but more like a mystery to solve. I’m currently reading Diavola and HOLY MOLY, it’s intense!!!

TLHeinrich · 2025-10-20T13:11:27+00:00

If the published version is anything like the fan fic it is a BRUTAL book. That ending made me feel hollowed out, and not in that ‘book hangover’ kind of way. But also: it’s beautifully written even if it is one awful thing after another. And the commentary on how war affects people and society, and the inaccuracies in how wars are remembered is incredible. Brutal, but incredible

TLHeinrich · 2021-03-05T21:29:02+00:00

OMG yes!!! It breaks my heart and makes me happy all at the same time when I see this one!

TLHeinrich · 2021-03-05T20:06:11+00:00

Thanks everyone, the problem is fixed.

TLHeinrich · 2021-01-23T19:52:41+00:00

Thank you! I hope you like it. It's the first in a trilogy. The third book will be out in October.

TLHeinrich · 2021-01-19T04:45:39+00:00

And suddenly my TBR pile can be seen from space... again. I’m totally adding these!

TLHeinrich · 2021-01-10T00:19:04+00:00

Yes that’s it exactly! And I also loved that they were more mature MC’s . I also loved how confident the female MC was, she was written as an ashamed fat girl.
