What strikes me most about Kenaz's writing is the way that she uses pacing. "Until the Stars Are All Alight" involves a sword fight and so the pacing there is crucial. I was sitting on the edge of my seat all through that. "Where the Shadows Are" relies on a different type of tension, where the two characters face their own edooms and the impending battle and the fact that their love is not destined to endure. But it's a tension that still requires almost frantic action of its sort, and Kenaz handles it well. This author communicates the necessary meaning without the story slowing down.
