A Sorcerer's Treason by Sarah Zettel
3.0
7/10 There were strong elements to this book—the main character, Bridget, and the settings in our world and Isavalta. Being a lighthouse lover, I enjoyed the sections on Sand Island and in Bayfield, places I have visited. I would have liked a map of Isavalta and its neighbors. The method of weaving magic, literally by weaving, was a fresh take. And there was plenty of plotting and palace intrigue, not to mention power plays by those who are beyond mortal.
So why not a higher rating? Other than Bridget, and to some extent Kalami, none of the characters had much depth or nuance. There were too many mysteries and unanswered questions, elements that were not addressed directly and didn’t become clear in context. I realize there are sequels, but I felt like a number of things were either glossed over or left unexplained and/or incomplete.
