The Riven Shield by Michelle West

4.0

Book 5 or 8 depending on your reading order, so it's harder to not spoil things :)
We leave the Arkosan Voyani in the desert to follow the Havallan Matriarch, the Serra's Diora and Theresa, Jewel, Avandar, Kallandras, Cellarient and the Winter King as they journey towards Valedan as he arrives in the South with the Northern army at his back.
This part of the story is more about the journey and prep for war, so it's a little less interesting to me but you can't just skip these things as they are necessary to the story and there are enough interesting twists and turns to keep my attention through out in spite of the war prep stuff.
