The Way Into Magic by Harry Connolly
5.0
Just as good as [b:The Way Into Chaos|18660656|The Way Into Chaos (The Great Way #1)|Harry Connolly|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1418742853s/18660656.jpg|26479680]. I really like both the continued worldbuilding and the way the characters are interacting.
Cazia is being forced to confront her own privilege. She doesn't think of herself as privileged (I mean, who does): she has lived almost her entire life within the castle, she's a hostage against her father's good behavior, she was treated with disgust by almost everyone around her. At the same time! She was still a noble. She got a noble's education, training in magic, and has led an extremely sheltered existence. It's great to see her being confronted with alternate worldviews.
Speaking of alternate worldviews--I love that they were able to speak with the Tikilit andmake a deal with the ruhgrit .
