The Steerswoman by Rosemary Kirstein

5.0

The Steerswoman are an order dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, ask them a question and they must answer to the best of their abilities. Rowan, following a random curiosity about some odd jewels catches the attention of wizards, this attention soon proves deadly. And she follows the thread of investigation, the very foundation of knowledge about the world will be upended! 

I thought this was fantastic! Characyers are well written and while the ending is abrupt it clearly sets up for  longer overarching plot. I loved the sub text commentary on access to knowledge. The story is revealed in a wonderfully logical way
