A review by paper_mache_reader
In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan

5.0

A lesser author would have made this four separate books, but Brennan knew she had one beautiful and compelling story on her hands. Our protagonist had all of the strengths of everyone favourite type of sidekick. This book was beautiful and wonderful and what all YA books should be. We have musings on the necessity of violence in fantasy settings, the value of diplomacy, and (of course) the importance of knowing and loving those who you choose. 

I loved every second of this book. This is going to be the book I put in the hands of the teenagers I will one day have.
