Recensioni di Daughter of the Empire
When series are read by different people, it is important that place and person names are pronounced the same for a sense of continuity

Excellent in every way, this Asian inspire political fantasy turned out to be a page turner. One of the greatest protagonists and plotting. This will probably become one of my favorite series

Det här var en av de bästa böckerna jag läst. Den var lite långsam till en början men sen förde boken med mig på ett riktigt äventyr utan sitt like

I really enjoyed this book. It took a bit to get going, the first hour or so wasn't great with of course a new MC and another narrator who I had to slow down a bit to really understand the story (I put it to 0,9, for any of you wondering). After things finally started getting underway, it really got good. What really made like this book is that, rather than relying on strength like it was with Pug (at least the first three books, haven't read the rest yet), Mara relied on cunning and intrigue, something which I personally at least really enjoy. Sure there was some luck involved every now and then, but at least she had a proper plan. I could really recommend this book, even with the fact that they are merely optional to the rest of the riftwar series, because it is a damn fine book none the less.
