pickNot tagged book, but a short story set in this universe. It's some kind of prequel, I'd say. And I also have to say that I liked this story way more than the two main books. Mainly, because of Wentworth. He's the best character in the series and needs more attention. But the story is also more focused, more centered, more interested in the characters than the two novels seem to be.
so-soI think this is just a fantasy-with-cliff-hangar issue with me. This story had some important things to say about perception and prejudice, cycles of violence, the tragedy of knowledge wielded or hoarded/censored like a weapon for power. It had a lovely amount of highly imaginative elements, and truly endearing animal helpers. It's also STUFFED with world-building and leaning heavily on time worn tropes. Unlikely that I'll pick up the sequel.

Wording that will rattle around in my brain for a while...
Ah, yes, of course, it's another series starter.
