Lucy Holland takes everything that made Sistersong good and dialed it up to 11. I liked Sistersong, I LOVED Song of the Huntress. Holland shows again her ability to weave believable/flawed/lovable characters into a story made of magic and history, all tied with beautiful prose. As a lover of epic fantasy, I love when a standalone novel can bring enough world building and character development to get me invested and then wrap up in a satisfying way. A captivating and moving story with well balanced political intrigue, mysterious magic, and heart wrenching romance.
