5.0

A lush, colorful story, a beautifully-realized setting, and a rich heroine. Naomi Novik weaves all these together into a masterpiece of fantasy storytelling that has won a special place in my collection. I loved it far more than I expected to, and even as I write this, I'm getting the urge to go back and read it again. Not many books can be called masterworks, but this book is a watertight tale, beautifully started and neatly realized. I could only hope to tell a story this beautiful and well-packaged.
