My Take
What draws me to Diane Duane is her refusal to stay in one lane. She built the Young Wizards series on a quietly radical idea, that magic carries the obligation to mend a broken world, then turned around and gave Star Trek's Romulans a genuine inner life in her Rihannsu novels. Born in New York but long settled in Ireland, she has kept writing across screenplays, blogs, and fiction for over half a century. I admire that kind of stamina. She strikes me less as a flashy talent than a steady flame, the sort of author whose influence sneaks up on you years later.
