This one is very much in the style of of the first few Elantra books. It's not high literature, but I enjoyed it. (

While I really loved the beautiful prose and rich depth of character in this installment, it got a little TOO abstract for me. Probably because I'm binge reading and two books in a row now have had sweeping dream-like-scapes and an excess of sitting with characters' thoughts. I found myself really missing the complex storytelling that happened in the first 4 book, and am hoping the series will return to the strong bones of that structure soon.

Still... a beautiful and important story about who decides who has a place in society. Definitely give it a read. (

I like Kaylin et al, but things just keep happening to her and then she fixes them because of ~*~reasons~*~. And how many major world-ending crises is Elantra going to face? It's been like, I dunno, six chronological months in the books, they just go from extreme calamity to extreme calamity. It's exhausting.

I like Sagara's style and the Sun Sword series is great, so I'm going to keep trucking on with this series, but I really want more substance here. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For my Uncle Shoichi, with gratitude

First words

The Halls of Law occupied real estate that the merchants’ guild salivated over every time discussion about tax laws came up, and for that reason, if no other, Private Kaylin Neya was proud to work in them.
