Judith Tarr's Alamut and Avaryan tales
"I was working in a long tradition, but one thing I tried to do that wasn't so common was to show the eastern characters as perfectly ordinary within their own environment, rather than as exotic or 'foreign.' That's always been a thing with me."
— Judith Tarr, April 2012
