The Eyes of Tamburah by Maria V. Snyder
4.0
I have so much praise for this book. From my experience of Maria V. Snyder, I was expecting a good story, if perhaps a little generic, however, I found the fantasy/dystopian blend concept very intriguing.
The story launched into action from the beginning, and kept up the pace throughout the book.
The main character, Shyla, was well-developed by the author. The author showed us that Shyla was intelligent without having to constantly TELL us that she was. She was one of the more realistic female protagonists I've come across in YA--priorities in surprisingly good order and willing to switch allegiances to those who align with her priorities, rather than being loyal to those she just met because 'she's a good person', you know?
The romance. Dude, THE ROMANCE. I blushed a little, and giggled a little, but don't tell anyone. It was so cute and borderline steamy at times without going overboard. Less really was more in this case.
I can't wait to read the next book.
