- Jeannie Lin's The Dragon and the Pearl
Not all those are 2012 releases... :)
o Cast in Peril by Michelle Sagara (came out Sept 18). There's a very slowly moving romance subplot, it seems, and there are shippers for character A, and shippers for character B. Which one, or perhaps both?, might win out, is not clear, it shifts from book to book
o Dragon Ship, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Its the direct sequel to Ghost Ship, which is a sequel to both Saltation and I Dare, which are sequels to....
o I can't remember the name of the Elizabeth Moon novel which came out earlier thi year. If I recall correctly it had a royal wedding in it, athere are other characters who are mate-hunting.
o Skirmish by Michelle West (a pen name of Michelle Sagaara). It has three large, winged, magical cats. One is black, one is white, one is gray. The black one and the white one squabble a lot. Holly the Cat should be envious.... The author thinks that people might have a hard time getting into the book without the what-went-before material she put on her website, however a friend I hooked reading a chapter over the phone to with the three ctas, said he had not problems coming to it cold.
