A review by mandygris
The Jewel and Her Lapidary by Fran Wilde

4.0

It was nice to see world building crammed in to such a short story. It was well done, though I found the current-day chapter openings to be jarring. They serve a purpose, I get it, but for me the tone of it took away from the majesty of the scenes in the past. Perhaps that was the point.

It would really be awesome to see more set in this world (and time of rulers!)
