What do You think about The Silent Strength Of Stones (1995)?
I liked this a little better than "Thread that Binds the Bones" but less than "A Fistful of Sky". It doesn't have quite the same lyricism of either, but it does have a more satisfying resolution than the "Thread that Binds the Bones". Also, I think "magic" was used a bit too often to smooth over rough spots in people's emotions. While it is set in the same universe, there are very few overlapping characters, and the two books (and the third, from what I can tell from the blurb) can all be read independently.
