Okkkk but this was funnnn! I wanted to try something else from Martha Wells since I love Murderbot so much, and I'm glad I picked the Raksura. This is very quiet fantasy, ala Sarah Beth Durst. It was tough to get into at first, but once I got immersed, there was no going back. I'm excited to learn more about this super gorgeous world, and to see more of our blossoming romance!

I enjoyed this book, especially the way Wells established a fantastic world without info-dumps. The emotional aspect felt understated, and it took me a bit to get invested in that aspect. Will definitely be continuing the series, but I don't feel a burning need to pick up the next book right away

Fantasy books with original worlds are often daunting or even sometimes incomprehensible. This book’s world and descriptions are digestible and make for a fun read!

I love this book, this whole series, so much. The characters, the world building, the story, they all push so many of my buttons that it's like they were written just for me.
