Story Behind The Book
I've always found humans the least interesting species in fantasy stories -- but markedly non-human beings are often treated like scenery, vehicles or cutesy "talking animals". I disagree with this standard. I don't think a story needs a human action hero in order to be a valid story. I think maturity is more than just violence and backstabbing. The Aligare series is my attempt to break away from overused fantasy formulas, and I hope others will enjoy the results.
Reviews
"Ultimately what made me love Remedy so much was its optimism. Ms.
Vlach has created a world where the people strive to do their best
and make a better world for everyone. I don't just want to
read stories set in this world, I want to live in it."<br /><br />
