I love everything I‘ve ever read by Maria V Snyder, but I think this series is my favourite. The world that she has created is richly imagined, and nicely different to many standard fantasy world-building tropes.
As usual, Snyder’s writing style is engaging and the plot moves along at a good pace. City of Zirdai is a solid ‘book two’, with wonderful character development and an expansion of the world, and the stakes. Our protagonist, Shyla Sun-Kissed, is also well written. I love following her journey, both in terms of the plot and how she develops as a character. She’s trying her best, but still makes mistakes, she loves and wants and feels the weight of her burdens, and... gosh she really needs a nice relaxing holiday!
All in all, I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves fantasy YA!
