mashara 's review for:

Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik
3.0

Finally Novik takes proper advantage of her alternate reality to change history in a more obvious way and make the subtle point she's been trying to drive across for four books, open and to the subject, losing hyperbole in the way.
Overall a more cohesive book than Black Power War, better paced and with higher stakes and less easy solutions.
