A review by katmarhan
The Lady of Han-Gilen by Judith Tarr

3.0

Judith Tarr’s prose is a delight, but this particular installment in the Avaryan series is a rather trite romance at its heart, with a fickle-minded, headstrong princess alternately loving, hating, and trying to choose between two emperors-to-be. Too many pages assigned to the waffling thoughts of Elian and not enough to the political machinations of a few of the princes of the Hundred Realms and the sorcery of the Exile. Still, a good story overall and an important piece in the Avaryan series.
