I'm presently reading The Lost Steersman, the third Steerswoman novel by Rosemary Kirstein. It's going to be impossible to explain the awesome bit without minor spoilers for the second novel, so I'm not going to bother. I can't even give you the bare conclusion, because it will give you the entirely wrong idea about the book.

(Pssst. The series is the Steerswoman series.)

I really enjoyed them -- I've now read all four, and am experiencing that familiar pang of wanting there to be more story. I'll have to check out the ones it reminds you of, though -- thanks for the recommend!

Of course. Fixed. I blame my subconscious sexism.

I actually don't know if the recommendation necessarily works in reverse, but you should tell me if it does.

I have ordered the fourth. I keep expecting to get to that point in a series where I am bored because I now know all the important bits about the world, and the author is content to let her characters just live there for a while -- but so far that's not even close to happening. And yeah, I want there to be more story. And there apparently is another completed novel, but Kirstein decided she wanted to add one in between 4 and what would have been 5, so it's not coming out yet.
