An enjoyable first entry in a trilogy from the always dependable Trudi Canavan.

It has a lot of similarities to her more famous Black Magacian series- a female main character with a strong magic powers and an interest in healing.

This series seems to be on a bigger scale than the previous ones, with a lot of deep world building, with a few new magical cultures and perspectives. This was both a strength and a weakness, as at times, it felt like there was an ever increasing collection of point of view characters, and some were inevitably a bit of a drag on the narrative.

I was not a fan of what seems to be the series (view spoiler) but this was just a small part.

Interested to see how it will progress.
