Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder
5.0

I really enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure if I would but decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Each character in the book is well-developed and unique. They all have flaws and there were moments where I wanted to hate almost all of them, yet despite their flaws could also relate to most of them.

The universe this is set in reminds me in some ways of other books (like the Seven Realms/Demon King series) but has unique features that make it stand out. Death Lilys are especially fascinating, especially as we learn more about them as the book progresses. I hope more mysteries will be unraveled in the next book in the series. Magic is also handled differently than in other books I've read. The way mages can use their powers are unique and the way they can bind together feels unique as well
