One of my favorite books from my favorite series. Megan Whalen Turner is a masterful writer, there are so many small details you miss on a first read that make rereads just as exciting as the first.
I am also, of course, obsessed with her characters and the ways she shows Just enough for you to be emotionally devastated while still leaving relationships between characters private in a way I haven’t seen other authors do.
