The Battle Lord's Lady by Linda MooneyA good read.  What an interesting story about how the world as we know it changed when earth passed through a meteor field.  This is a futuristic story that because of the `Great Concussion' actually reverts human kind back to the very basics in living but with a great split in humanity.The Mutah are the `unaturals' whose physical forms changed in sometimes big ways and sometimes small ways.  From extra limbs or tails to special skills or hair the color of `morning glorys'.The Cleaners are the `Normals' who were not changed.  Their goal is to rid the earth of everyone who was not `normal'.  That was what they were taught through generations.This story is about an unnatural Atty, who is an awesome hunter for her village.  Her dark blue hair is her `special' distinction along with her skill with a long bow. Yulen is a soldier and the Battle Lord of his compound. His attack on her village starts a chain reaction that takes them on a journey of discovery for both sides and shows them that "love is transcending".I enjoyed the writing overall however there were a few times it dragged a bit, though nothing major.  The end even had me shedding a tear or two.  Yul was a fun character who I believe changed the most in this story with his views and his overall acceptance of others.  I also really liked the scenes when Atty showed her skills and her quick wit.  I think this will be a continuing series and I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
