I've got a friend who recently read Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters Trilogy and loves Mists of Avalon who's looking for good fantasy, preferably of a Celtic bent, with strong female characters. Any suggestions? Heh, I've found I generally read more Asian and fairy-tale influenced fantasy, so I've probably missed this entire vein.

She can try Katharine Kerr's Deverry series if she likes (the first book is Daggerspell. It's heavily Celtic-influenced The main characters are Jill and Rhys, but it also deals with reincarnation and you'll see characters from the first book come back as someone else, or a flashback to the past will tell you who the characters *used* to be.

It's a fairly long series. There are eleven books to date and two more planned (they've been delayed due to problems Kerr had with her US publisher). I've enjoyed it, though, and kept the books around to wait for the last two and see how she wraps it all up.
