Take the political intrigue of various factions of church, state, subjugated peoples of an empire, and religious heretics in a Renaissance setting and combine with magic and a well-realized fantasy setting and the result is A Magic of Twilight by S.L. Farrell, the first, yet stand-alone, volume of the Nessantico Cycle. (full review)
Enter into Neth Space and you will find thoughts and reviews of books and other media that fit the general definition of speculative fiction. This includes the various genres and sub-genres of fantasy, science fiction, epic fantasy, high fantasy, hard sci-fi, soft sci-fi, new weird, magical realism, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, slipstream, horror, alternative history, SF noir, etc. Thoughts are my own, I'm certainly not a professional, just an avid reader avoiding his day job.

A Magic of Twilight by S.L. Farrell
Well, I am actually an associate reviewer for FantasyBookSpot even though I only write about 4 reviews a year for them. My latest review for FBS is A Magic of Twilight by S.L. Farrell. Now, go and read it - it's a book that will likely appeal to many who read this blog.

Howdy, Neth. I think you meant to say that you're an associate reviewer, not review. Then again, maybe you did mean "review," in which case, you're bending my mind a bit.
Anyway, just wanted to point it out so you have a chance to fix it. Feel free to delete my comment afterwards if you want.
Cheers!
I had seen the cover for this book awhile back and found it so incredible that I hoped the book would live up to it. Glad to read that is it well worth picking up.
-robert, thanks - I'll have to make the change. Damn typos!
-Carl, I think you'll enjoy this one.
