Review: Something different to enjoy

I discovered Tara Maya through reading the 'Faery Worlds' collection--and was very happy that I did. The Unfinished Song series offered me a journey through a world that was culturally very different from my own, with a unique system of magic, interwoven with faeries in a way that had only a hint of familiarity. I mostly read action-oriented urban fantasy and sci-fi written from a male perspective--I have generally avoided female authors because I have found it difficult to relate to their characters. Maya's characters were different but not inaccessible. I found myself immersed in the story--something different to enjoy, like going out for Thai food after a week of steak and potatoes.
