Review copy provided by the author, who is a\npersonal friend since we’re repped by the same agent and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is not to say that you should discount\nmy squee, because: squeeee this is so much fun. I tore right through it and\nthen have had to wait months<\/em> to share this review with you lot through\nthe wonder of ARCs. I love books that ask, “But then what next?” And\nthis is very much that kind of book. There is a child priestess who is to be\nsacrificed, who is ready to die. She is saved from death. Yes: but then what\nnext?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What next is learning so much. What next is\nsearching not one world but many, for ancient relics, barely remembered but\npowerful beyond describing. What next is being handed team members you don’t\nwant, don’t like, and would actually like to throw into any convenient abyss.\nWhat next is loyalty to the point of agony–loyalty beyond imagining–and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then discoveries of someone new who can\nearn your loyalty too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not a short fantasy, but not a page\nis wasted. I tore through it at a scorching pace, with each section bringing\nnew personal developments for both Csorwe and her worlds. The shape of Csorwe’s\nstory is hers, and for all the fantasy I read, I never yawned, oh, this again.\nI wanted to be with her for every moment of it. Highly recommended. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review copy provided by the author, who is a personal friend since we’re repped by the same agent and all.
