What a terrific book!
This book succeeds at doing a slow burn, pulling together characters of disparate political goals without overly complicating the plot, and creates a rich fantasy universe in the world of Isavalta. Every character has depth, is fully rounded, seems real. The complexity was fascinating, and I didn't want the book to end because I didn't want to leave the world she'd created.
In some ways, it reminded me of Donaldson's "The Mirror Of Her Dreams," but better.
