Katzilla is definitely an action-adventure writer, with a strong dramatic instinct, and a good sense for characterization, particularly of her favorite, Eomer. She also does well, however, to characterize much more minor characters (like Elfhelm, Eothain, and Hama) and she writes an excellent villain (Grima). She is an ambitious writer, who tends to try to depict the whole--even the short stories tend to add up when put together, and then become fodder for longer stories, and she takes full advantage of the novel form to establish her characters and their situation. She also knows how to exploit the possibilities of the AU form, and is fairly ruthless, which I appreciate in an author, particularly one who specializes in writing the war/action side of LOTR.

Katzilla really captures the spirit of the Rohirrim. Eomer and Eowyn seem to fit so well with what Tolkien wrote of them.
