| Re: Kate Elliott
Actually, Jaran was the first Kate Elliott book. The Labyrinth Gate (fantasy) and The Highroad Trilogy (self-described space-opera) are the books published under the Rasmussen name.
Neon, yes, the religious element continues to be important throughout the series, though none of the religions/heresies are exactly the same as anything in our world. Not to everyone's taste, I know, but for me it gives Alis/Kate's worldbuilding a real sense of authenticity, because the Church was so very powerful and pervasive an influence through the entire medieval period. |
