A review by lassarina
Cast in Shadow by Michelle Sagara

5.0

I absolutely loved this. I loved Kaylin's stubbornness, her sass, and her willingness to work damned hard in pursuit of what she wanted, as well as her compassion. At the same time, I shook my head a lot at her temper and her complete inability to hold her tongue when she needed to--but those things are important to her as a character. I loved her relationships with the other Hawks, and the complicated relationship she has with the foundling hall.

I suppose there's an argument to be made that she's a little too "chosen one," but I'm fine with it. This isn't a grinding low fantasy; it's clearly epic in scale and I'm excited for it. I immediately went back to the library for the next three books and I may have to pick them up to add to my permanent collection.
