A review by nicolemhill
Forest of Souls by Lori M. Lee
4.0
It's been a minute since a series starter actually made me really hungry for the next book. This one did. Maybe that's because the magic of wielding elements hit me perfectly as I watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. Or maybe it's because Lee is as skilled at crafting characters as she is at building a world.
Other notables and things I found refreshing: women in control without it being A Thing; no love triangles; solid bond of female friendship; main character who could fight but also has decent decision-making skills; haunted woods; action without being overstuffed; Magic Orphan™️.
