Hi! Thank you so much for recommending me this author.

Her writing definitely sounds like something I would be interested in, but wouldn't pick out for myself.

The variety of female protagonists is something I greatly appreciate, and I really do love a found family vibe.

I'll definitely check out this series, but I might have to do more research / a deeper dive into her stuff because I also don't love large age gaps (something I forgot to mention in my DNW), but the premise of the book sounds interesting, so I /might/ be able to overlook it.

Thanks for taking the time to recommend me this author!

You're most welcome!

Yeah, I completely understand - I suggest you start with her Emelan universe in that case, because that one doesn't have any age-gaps relationships at all.

It's the Tortall one with the age-gaps - it was written first, and you can be assured that there won't be any large age-gaps in any of her latter work. The age-gap relationship is specifically present in the Immortals quartet, and there is a much milder one in the Alanna quartet which I didn't take much notice of because I wasn't really focussed on figuring out the years between the characters (7 yr difference) when reading that quartet). If you like her style, then try the Tortall 'verse and see if you can overlook it or just skip the Immortals quartet - it's not a huge focus of the books.
