A review by priyastoric
Cast in Sorrow by Michelle Sagara

4.0

When I started reading this book I didn't realize it would be a love story, and one that was entirely unexpected. As usual Michelle Sagara has pulled together a narrative that deals with some of my favorite elements of this series--words, stories, and what makes us who we are. What was unexpected was the character development. We learned more about Teela and Nightshade (and some about Severn) than ever before. Plus our intrepid heroine finally had to make choices about power and her past entirely on her own without any magical intervention forcing her hand. Big steps. We also leave the story with a host of new possibilities that make me excited to see what happens next. There was the usual Kaylin muddling through solutions that I had to re-read a few times to understand but even that wasn't so bad.

Note: Also I love the cover.
