The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley
3.0
Not for me, but I can see and appreciate the merits of this book. Definitely inspired GRRM's Daenerys & Drogo storyline and probably many authors putting female characters front and center.
The colonists/magic indigenous relationship looked interesting for a second but then was dull if not problematic. Similarly was excited for Harry's initial bucking of gender norms, just to be hailed as the prophesied Lady Hero in a new environment.
