 This was such a cool fantasy novel!

Admittedly, this was originally a cover buy for me and I didn't realize this was the 2nd book in a series until after I had begun to read.

However!

The events of this book take place chronologically before the events in the 1st book, so now I don't feel so bad! ��

This installment covers many, many years as our protagonist moves through her life. I loved reading from her perspective and knowing that this helps set the stage for "Black Leopard, Red Wolf".

Highly recommend if you are seeking a fantasy novel with a vastly different cultural background than what we're used to seeing on the market!
