After avoiding this book for years based on its boring blurb, and despite getting recommendations for it from others, I read it in a day and loved it. Usually book blurbs give away too much, in my opinion. This one didn’t give away enough, and I thought it was just another fantasy book with palace intrigue. It’s so much more than that. It has a unique formulation with the raybearer and the council, and its exploration of sacrifice, sexism, and justice is extremely well done. The benefit to avoiding this book for so long is that I didn’t read it until the sequel was out, which I read the day after finishing this one. Highly recommended.
