5.0

This, I think, is my favourite book I have ever read. The world is convincing and full, even if we don't see very much of it. The people and politics and layers of court interactions are wonderful and engaging. Each character is lovable in their own way, and we get to deeply understand them. I love Maia more than I think I have loved any character before. I will hold this book dear to my heart for a long time .
