I keep wanting to try Elizabeth Bear, but the Canberra library system is pathetic. I keep hoping that one day some interesting stuff will come in. The Anne Bishop sounds good too.
I do have Ammonite, but I did like Slow River somewhat better myself. I need to be in the mood for Ammonite, since it is slow-paced, and it doesn't quite have a resolved ending. Slow River moves along much better.
Yes, I had to have two goes with the Kushiel books. I found that after about page 150, the first one got a lot less wanky for me, and I found I liked the lead character. I was thinking it was a bit too much like George R. R. Martin initially (and those I bounced off, in a big way).
