Judith Tarr recommends

Divided Allegiance (1988)
(Deed of Paksenarrion, book 2)
Elizabeth Moon
"This is the first work of high heroic fantasy I've seen that has taken the work of Tolkein, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely, and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the master ... I'm deeply impressed."

Jaran (1992)
(Jaran, book 1)
Kate Elliott
"A strong debut ... A bright new talent ... Complex politics ... A wonderful, sweeping setting ... reminds me of C J Cherryh."

The Bastard King (2003)
(Scepter of Mercy, book 1)
Dan Chernenko (Harry Turtledove)
"A brilliant new talent."

Congress of Secrets (2016)
Stephanie Burgis
"Congress of Secrets is a feast for the lover of historical fantasy rich, complex, beautifully researched and engrossingly told. Burgis is a new star of the genre, and I can't wait to see what she does next."
