A review by lawrenceevalyn
The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold

5.0

I don’t think I’ve re-read this book since “sixteen” was “impossibly grown up and mature” rather than “impossibly young and naive,” but it holds up incredibly well. The characters are vivid and charming, and the story builds it plot and setting wonderfully. A great example of good, solid fantasy and the pleasures thereof, without the implied burdens/expectations of a series.
