Actually, her name is spelled Kirstein.  Absolutely amazing author,
I just wish she'd write faster.  It's so rare to see strong female 
characters who are also intelligent (and shown to be intelligent, not 
just claimed so by the author), and also honest.

Another favorite series is Michelle Sagara's Elantran Chronicles, 
which start with _Cast in Shadow_.  High fantasy police procedural,
with a sort of inverted Mary Sue: the universe *does* revolve around 
her, which is very unpleasant for her and potentially disasterous
for the universe.

And if you like Nifty Magic Systems, anything by Brandon Sanderson
would be good.
