A review by literatehedgehog
Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik

4.0

An excellent addition to the series! As always, one of the best narrations on audio books, too!

This book has as much as action and humor as the first, as much accessible moral and philosophical inspection as the third, and is better paced of them all. Before I even thought "hm we've spent a bit of time here" we were racing off to another situation, wholly upending my expectations.

minor spoiler
I imagine some people will have Thoughts and Feelings on the battle at Cape Town - but it fit with the series' themes of justice, vengeance, and human rights and cohered with the plot.
