- Intisar Khanani grew up a nomad and world traveler. Born in Wisconsin, she has lived in five different states as well as in Jeddah on the coast of the Red Sea. She first remembers seeing snow on a wintry street in Zurich, Switzerland, and vaguely recollects having breakfast with the orangutans at the Singapore Zoo when she was five. She now resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and two young daughters. Prior to becoming a full time mom (and writer), Intisar wrote grants and developed projects to address community health with the Cincinnati Health Department, which is was close as she could get to saving the world. Her approach to writing fantasy reflects her lifelong passion for stories from different cultures. She is currently writing a trilogy set in the same world as Thorn. This is her first novel.

Memories of Ash (The Sunbolt Chronicles Book 2) Tekijä: Intisar Khanani
I think Ms Khanani is an excellent writer. This novel length follow up was very enjoyable and I will be eagerly awaiting the next in the series.
Intisar Khanani is a talented writer with strong characterisations. This was a good prequel to become aware of the backstory in The Theft of Sunlight.
Unlike Thorn, this book is not a close riff on a known fairy tale but explorations of the non-fairytale aspects of the world built for Thorn. Children have been disappearing for around 30 years and the few who are found require a Blessing which removes recent memory in order not to succumb to the Darkness, so investigations have discovered little. Amraeya ni Ansarim, known as Rae, goes to help a cousin who has married "up" into the court to see if she can encourage those more powerful to increase investigations. Rae herself, has a vital secret to protect and with a misinformed foot and plain looks, knows she will be disadvantaged in the court settings. What she doesn't expect is that she also has advantages which will propel her near the highest and most dangerous levels of court.
Well told and moving well, this clearly becomes the first half of a larger story when the stakes are upped enormously too far into the story for any satisfactory resolution, and indeed, we are left hanging from a cliff. Significant ding for introduction of unneeded somewhat jarring romance elements.… (lisätietoja)

I don't know why more people are not talking about this author. She is absolutely wonderful and her writing has a purity that is refreshing.
This book was quite good, but way, way too short. I need it to be one of those 10 pound, over 1000 page tomes of epic fantasy. I look forward to more installments and will preorder every one. I'm off to see what else she's written. I am her newest fan.
