Glasswrights' Apprentice | 
Rani‘s merchant family paid her way into the glasswrights‘ guild thus making the 13 yo a guild member, raising her caste and earning her a 3 syllable name (Ranita). But then the heir to the crown is murdered, the glasswright guild is blamed and destroyed.
Published in 2000. Fun but too many adjectives, some used repetitively, which pulls me out of the narrative.
humouress Halfway through. The adjectives aren‘t bothering me quite as much. Probably a combination of I‘m getting use to it/ the writing is settling in/ the action is picking up 1y
humouress This story is very much about the caste system in the capital City of Morenia as Rani is thrown from one to the other and her name changes to suit. This makes the action feel a bit disjointed and together with the overly descriptive language makes for a slow read. It looks like this was Klasky‘s 1st book; but the story is interesting enough - continuing on (edited) 1y
