Reading now and really loving it. Great story telling, well fleshed out, beautify written. 3/4 through it as of now.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Her others are worthwhile as well, but not quite on the same level.

Such a broad statement as to be ridiculous.

It can't be all current fiction. Do you know of any contemporary novels you like?

Because writers don't have to be technically great authors. Nobody had imagination anymore except for filmmakers.

Does 'current fiction' mean fiction set in current times or fiction written in current times?

And what is the criteria for current times?

Fiction written within the past 5 years.
