klmnz 's review for:
The Lord of Stariel
by A.J. Lancaster
A very strong debut and first book in a series from a New Zealand author. My attention was drawn to this following CoNZealand, which (with mixed success, admittedly) did manage to highlight some great New Zealand authors and works in the SFF space, at least to me. My library had the first two of this series (I've requested they buy the third) and I'm hooked. The character work is so strong, especially the female lead, and I also love the setting. Would also be a great introduction to adult fantasy for those who have read primarily from YA.
