I wrote a couple Sun Sword stories for Kaleidoscope this year. I get the feeling most of you have seen them already, but just in case:

Women's Words (4605 words) by

ambyr
Fandom: Sun Sword - Michelle West
Rating: General Audiences
Relationships: Diora en'Leonne/Valedan kai di'Leonne
Characters: Diora en'Leonne, Teyla en'Leonne, Alina di'Lamberto, Kiriel di'Ashaf, Valedan kai di'Leonne
Summary: "It is said the correspondence of Serras is beneath the interest of Tyrs."

Lessons (2418 words) by

ambyr
Fandom: Sun Sword - Michelle West
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Teresa di'Marano, Lissa en'Caveras
Summary: She is no longer the Serra Teresa, but the lessons of a lifetime are difficult to set aside.

And, outside of Kaleidoscope, I put together a Sun Sword fanmix:

Make Them Hear You (381 words) by

ambyr
Fandom: Sun Sword - Michelle West
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Diora en'Leonne
Summary: Diora's journey, from the fall to the rise of the clan Leonne. (Streaming link included.)

Reviewing canon for all this made me realize how much I'd like to do a chapter-by-chapter reread and discussion for the series. Would anyone else be interested in something like that?

I imagine everyone is aware of this by now, but just to mention that Michelle has begun the process of making her short stories available as e-books, starting with the West novellas. This post has the cover for "Huntbrother", which will be in wide e-book release shortly. (Apparently there are plans to collect all six West novellas in paper via Lulu eventually.)

If you haven't read "Huntbrother" and are a fan of the West books, I'd encourage you to check out that story out of all of them. It contains some absolutely crucial worldbuilding information, as it follows Cynthia of Maubreche post-The Sacred Hunt (and it's good!). Of course, it being a Michelle West novella, it raises as many questions for the master plot as it answers, but.

My continually talking up the West books continues to bear sporadic fruit.

megwrites just read The Broken Crown and has an interesting review here. She's trying to decide whether to continue the series, and welcomes spoilers, particularly re: Kiriel.

Looking back on The Sun Sword, as much as I like Valedan, that series really is all about the female characters and how awesome they are. With some Kallandras angst thrown in for good measure, amirite?

Current Location: Kyoto

In comm business, anyone who has graphics skillz and would like to make a less generic layout for the community, please feel free; I'd be happy to show off your talents. (I have no graphics skillz whatsoever.)

And now for some Sagara West reviews around DW:

wistfuljane recently read The Broken Crown and is partway through The Uncrowned King and has some very interesting thoughts on resonances between West's worldbuilding and the real world, specifically race, gender, culture, and power. (No spoilers beyond TBC, please!)

thistleingrey recently read Cast in Courtlight and has some criticisms of the book as urban fantasy, also quite interesting.
