The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner

4.0

This is such a charming book. It's fantasy, but not high fantasy, and the emotions, actions, and thoughts that Katherine experiences are grounded and realistic. I especially like that Katherine encounters characters who vary in their sexual experience and preference, and that they are treated without judgement. It can be read without reading the earlier book about some of the same characters, Swordspoint (which is also excellent).
