		<description><![CDATA[Great things about this story: Textured and real-feeling fantasy world not set in a European forest. I love the multiple religions, countries, languages and belief systems we experience in just 12 installments of this story. Lots of different kinds of people inhabit this story: husbands, wives, mothers, young adults, kids. This isn&#8217;t a world full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a well-written story with a strong and fascinating protagonist walking a solid, well-crafted world. Guard Jo has just been hired to guard a merchant&#8217;s family and, given the presence of a magician, anything might happen.&#160; Can&#8217;t wait to see what does. I&#8217;m thinking the fledgling partnership between Jo and Tobias will take them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;Strong Heart&#34; touches on one of my favorite motifs in fiction, alternative sexuality.&#160; In this case, the protagonist Jo is transgender, a female-bodied person taking a male role in society, because in her culture only men may be warriors.&#160; (I was amused by the particular manner in which it was handled: they tell the gods, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strong Heart is a sword-and-sorcery story that details the exploits of Joana, a desert mercenary and &#34;Dagha pavadkar&#34; &#8211; or &#8216;pure warrior&#8217; &#8211; who is hired to look after a merchant&#8217;s family while he is away. The job is complicated by the cousin of the merchant&#8217;s wife, Tobias, a soft-hearted magician who may have managed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the blurb says Strong Heart by capriox bovidae is very much in the sword and sorcery genre.&#160; At eleven installments it&#8217;s still early days but it&#8217;s shaping up to be a well written and engaging story so far. There&#8217;s obviously been some careful worldbuilding. The magic system is well thought out and the details [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fantasy is not my favourite genre. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying &#34;Strong Heart&#34; immensely. The characterization is excellent, the environments colourful and well realized, and there is not a fantasy cliché in sight. Things are perhaps a little too slow moving as Jo goes back and forth meeting various [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delicious, compelling, with some interesting twists.&#160; I&#8217;m already engaged. A story of a female merc living in a town where several cultures intersect. The world is vibrant, believable, and well-detailed; so are the characters.]]></description>
