I have never brought myself to re-read LILITH or PHANTASTES, having not cared for them at all the first time around
I can get that. I want to try again with them because I found them evocative as well as hard to understand.
And I have never read Bradshaw! Do you think I would like her?
You know how people say "the past is a foriegn country"? With her, the past is an alien planet... where the world-building is very well done. Yes, you would like her. Especially "The Beacon at Alexandria", I think, because strong female protagonist, disguise, adventure, friendship, and understated romance. Besides Beacon and "Island of Ghosts", I'd recommend "The Sand-Reckoner" (about Archimedes!), "Cleopatra's Heir", "Wolf Hunt" (historical fantasy) and "Dangerous Notes" (near-future SF with an overtone of Greek myth). Oh, and she also wrote an Arthurian trilogy (which I how I discovered her, actually) which I don't tend to re-read because Tragic Ending of Arthur Saga makes me sad.
