The Tyrant Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective tense

4.5

Exhausting in its vastness, like the feeling after a run. Baru comes to her dark night of the soul surprisingly quickly and is then free to carry on with her business for 400 pages in a complex network of feints and counterfeits and negotiations. The political fabric runs a little threadbare in spots but it picks itself back up. Amazingly somehow has a happy ending.
