The Winged Histories by Sofia Samatar

5.0

Beautifully written; engaging themes; fascinating characters; immersive and brilliant = an excellent book! The gorgeous prose adds more richness to the tapestry of these four characters--woven in relation to, in conflict with, because of and despite each other and the war. Even though "The Winged Histories" is sequel to "A Stranger in Olondria" you do not need to read one to enjoy the other, though reading both is well worth it--the layers and counter points and deepening of history helps the reader see the many ripples an act of rebellion, an act of faith, an act of love or hate can set into motion.
