I came into this newest release with some hesitation with it being the fourth in a ongoing series that I had no clue about. But this was definitely a beautiful and quick read with such through details in just ten chapters . It unveiled a lot about the magic behind a society that uses stories as a way of tradition and magic, which I enjoyed rather a lot. The fact it was so personal to the characters both human and somewhat not made it unique because it reads like a nontraditional western location thats fictional. 

That said I've heard about Nghi Vo and while definitely a newer to me author I understand the impact of her work in the reading community over that five or six years alone. She is part of a new batch of authors I can't wait to be able to consume more from when given the time and chance.
