A review by bijan711
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

4.0

The book was too smart for me. My key wish was for the writing to slow down just a bit, for the plot to be explored just a little more, so I could have a chance to piece together some of the major reveals on my own. Most of the book felt like it was going at break neck speed. A 1 page interlude to fast forward through 6 months of plot. But it worked well enough for me. And the penultimate plot point was one of the most epic I have ever read; gasping when something bad happened, clapping when a hero prevailed.

At the end of the book, I find myself unsure if I like the main character, if I respect her even. But I love where Dickinson has taken her and I look forward to seeing how this trilogy evolves.
