Hidden Warrior by Lynn Flewelling

5.0

I loved this book. It's much more a "fantasy of manners" than fantasy-ghost-story which the first book was. I really enjoy both genres so this was a treat. The only caveat is that it's not a sequel, it's the second part of this story and it ends abruptly because the tamir triad should have been one big book. I don't mind paying for it in peices since this is almost 600 pages but it's unfair to judge this as a standalone story.

The writing is beautiful and top notch just as the first book was and I happily started on the next book as soon as I finished this. Often second books lack quality in terms of writing and their pacing/set-up & payoff but this book fortunately does not suffer from that.

All around an exemplary addition to the fantasy genre so far. ✨
