The Broken Crown by Michelle West
5.0
In The Sacred Hunt West is just stretching her wings; in The Broken Crown she soars. Since I finished Malazan a few years ago I've been searching for something to scratch that itch. West is no Erikson, but she gets damn close, and this is only the first book in the series.
I deeply enjoyed exploring the Annagarian culture, obviously heavily inspired by Far East feudalism, and veiled behind Spanish sounding names. Diora de'Marente quickly became a favourite, though West's constant reminders of how perfect she is at times became a bit much.
But hey, my old favourite Evayne is back, and there was far fewer raising of brows in this one compared to TSH. Very much looking forward to the next book!
