Not too much to say, I liked it and like a Hundred Thousand Kingdoms it is a much stranger, richer fantasy than I normally consume. May have to take a break but I will definitely read the second before the year is out.
This tale was a lot simpler and I found not as dark as the previous series of this author.

This was a good but disappointing book. I blame my likely unfair review on N.K. Jemisin for writing The Inheritance Trilogy first. Comparisons inevitable happened, mainly over the way The Killing Moon was crafted and presented. Where The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms – a book I have now read twice and...
