The Eyes of Tamburah by Maria V. Snyder
5.0
I don’t have nearly as much time to read these days so I’m picky with my choices. Maria never lets me down and she certainly didn’t with this book!
Tomb Raider vibes meshed with a City of Ember world is the closest I could compare, but really she created a completely new concept and storyline that was so refreshing after so much of the same repeated tropes I’ve been seeing on the shelves.
A treasure hunter raised by monks and shunned by the rest of her city for how she looks is thrust into a life or death race to find an impossible artifact. The pacing was perfect and the plot twists expertly crafted. I can’t wait to read book 2!
