Within the first chapter of the book you'll know the writer is a she (I did), the point of view is subtly femanine. Little things, like all the burly sailors spending and embarrasingly significant amount of time talking about their feelings. [img]smile.gif[/img]
She's one of my favorite authors, I thought the Liveship series was refreshingly origonal and incredibly imaginative. The characters were relatively standard epic fantasy form, but there were enough twists and turns in the well architected plot to keep things very interesting. Additionally, the characters were INTERESTING, they had lots of depth (courtesy of the aforementioned femanine POV) and sufficient complexity (not Martin level but better than most authors) to keep you wanting to know what's going to happen to them.
She's on my "Highly Recommended" list of authors.
