Seasparrow is a surprise, because it’s the first Kristen Cashore we’ve gotten that’s written in first person. Of course I loved the brief exposures to the familiar characters - Bitterblue, Giddon, Katsa, Po, Raffin, Ban - but I was surprised at how much I came to love Hava’s voice as well. The real stars of the show are the blue foxes, though, who provide humor, joy, and an element of love that really brightens up an otherwise bleak story. Could it have been about two hundred pages shorter? I think definitely. Was it still a great read? Yes, definitely, also.
