A review by suzjustsuz
Cast in Fury by Michelle Sagara
4.0
The world and the recurring characters grow on you, that's for sure. This one was more entertaining than the previous ones.
It seems that the author is using each book to expound upon the world by creating various mystery/crisis/issues within one of the plethora of races and/or social groups within the world. Since there are a myriad assortment of races she's got plenty of room to slowly spin each race and their various cultural, magical, and physiological variances into the tapestry and, therefore, each book makes the world richer, the characters more multi-dimensional, and the plots more enveloping. In short, each book is sucking me into the world a bit more.
It should be mentioned that the races are all quite original takes or twists on races that we might expect to see in various forms of contemporary fantasy stories, but not obviously so. I found myself trying to struggle to make parallels with "standard" paranormal races and there were only vague shadows of similarities, but they are there.
This book was about the liontine.
