So glad there‘s a map at the beginning. She must be a fan of the Belgariad - place names include Torak and Kel 😊
The beginning and ending. I like the last lines. I don‘t think it‘s spoilery but I‘ll hide it, just in case.

I felt heavy themes in mis recorded histories at the mercy of men to control women but didn't say as much to my daughter (buddy read). I love that she can learn humans are flawed at the root through middle grade fantasies at her age. Men and women should be equal in what they are able to accomplish with their gifts, talents and pay and I think my daughter's eyes are opening to how far we have come as a gender and how far we need to keep pushing.

Let no one say that magic school stories are overdone and archaic; Anne Ursu proves all such judgements wrong in her story of Marya, a young girl suppressed and abused, who through simply being herself and following her instincts brings about the restoration of female autonomy throughout her entire world. I loved the main character, the magical school, the themes, the side characters, the side plots, everything!
Much of the story felt very bleak and I found myself getting so frustrated for the characters, but it had a satisfying ending. I didn‘t love it, but it was pretty good. #middlegrademarch @megnews @sblbooks
🎧 This is the 2nd book in the high fantasy Risen Kingdom trilogy. It continues the story of Isabelle & her musketeer Jean Claude & thankfully it‘s all story? No fluff fantasy! 🙄
Isabelle has fallen from Grace when she‘s unfairly accused of breaking the treaty she helped write. Everything‘s fought to attain is taken away from her.

“She had two choices. One was to continue lying there, doing nothing. The other was to get up and defy all odds. To reach and try for something that the world didn‘t think she should have.”
