Masques by Patricia Briggs

3.0

---

This is the first book Briggs ever wrote. In the front of the edition I read she makes some gentle excuses for it, which is interesting because I don't think it needs them. It's a classic fantasy, and she does it beautifully, creating the sort of intriguing and forceful characters that make her later books such a joy. The villain is truly chilling, and the world building convincing. This is my second read of 'Masques' and it makes for a good comfort read. Briggs remains one of my favourite fantasy authors.
