I liked The God Engines quite a bit. There was enough meat there for a full
length novel and the ending was a bit too grim dark. I really want a full

John Scalzi has a novella out called THE GOD ENGINES, that's up for a Hugo this
year. Sort of fantasy with tech; set in a spacefaring society that doesn't

for their spaceships, and magic given to them by their own god

That's a good point. I guess I need to think about the kinds of books I used
to read...they were probably more fantasy, but I think I want something with a
little techy edge to it too. So like Lord of the Rings (all which I've read)

I am currently recommending The Ten Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemison.
From Publishers Weekly
