A review by mary_soon_lee
Cast in Fury by Michelle Sagara
4.0
This is the fourth novel in the fantasy series The Chronicles of Elantra, a series that I'm enjoying very much. At the risk of becoming repetitive, I continue to love Kaylin, the main character, and also love several of the supporting cast, and I love the way that the series offers found-family and friendship in abundance.
I think my reviews of the earlier entries neglected to mention that there's a good helping of humor. The humor and the friendships balance quite dark plots. Spoilers ahead.
Four out of five leontine stars.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).

"Cast in Fury" is perhaps my second-favorite of the books to date. I particularly liked Marrin's small but pivotal role. I anticipated the ending, but that didn't make it any less perfect.Four out of five leontine stars.
