The Memory of Fire by Callie Bates
4.0
3.5 stars! Wow, I enjoyed this so much more than its predecessor. It's from Jahan's perspective, so I suppose I should have seen that coming.
The Memory of Fire delves further into the magic system and political sphere of the world Bates crafts in The Waking Land. It unravels the consequences of Caeris's uprising, and it shows the struggle to maintain a government that accepts sorcery in a world that does not.
I don't know that I'd say it's worth reading the first book just to get to this one. But if you like politically fantasies, and you're patient with giving debut authors a shot, I recommend it.
