Blade's Edge by Virginia McClain
4.0
Intricate
This book is packed to the brim with intricate background and environment painting. There were levels of social standing and rules, titles and a vocabulary unique to this world (while similar to Japanese language and culture, a lot of the terms were far different), and characters that were fleshed out in what felt like stages. It was interesting how it felt like I was being given dollops of information with every page; never all at once. I can see the craftsmanship behind the writing and it is intriguing.
