Silence in Solitude by Melissa Scott

5.0

Kick ass heroine. Good looking husbands (yes two, but nothing salacious happens). Great female and male secondary characters. Tons of adventure. A thoroughly satisfying book that stands on its own even if you haven't read the first in the series. No cliffhanger. Great, fun science fiction of particular interest to women.

By the way, this is definitely SF and not fantasy. Yes I know the cover shows something that looks like magic, and some characters are magi. That said, it's all described in a scientific way.
