The steerswomen were seekers, collectors of knowledge, and whatever they learned was free for the asking.

Pretty unforgettable

4 žvaigždutės

I wanted to go as far as possible with the published books, and this one got back on the main plot with a lot more to learn, deduce, suspect and guess. The writer said she was working on the following ones, so I can leave the series for a while and be on the lookout for the next one when it's published. All in all, the whole series is really worth the time, even though it's a bit long sometimes, everything matters, all the details build up an very interesting universe, with its people, customs, landscapes and monsters of all types... it's pretty unforgettable.

I don’t want this to be done!!

5 žvaigždutės

Actually finished this weeks ago, but have been in denial because it’s the last one but it’s at a cliffhanger! The plot isn’t done!! So close and yet so far!! Still thinking about what makes these books so compelling. It’s the way of thinking about what magic is, absolutely. But it’s also about what community is and what knowledge is and why curiosity is important. Grateful to the friend who recommended these and said to dive in without reading anything about them first.
