![]() ![]() Tor, one of the last living Eborans (think elves with skin that looks like fancy wood and red eyes before their tree god died they lived long healthy lives but after his death tried substituting human blood for longevity tree sap. She is sarcastic, brittle, compassionate and defensive, as you might be if you'd been in jail since you were a child and denied all human contact (and maybe had a really bad accident before they caught you shushhhh). We meet her as she's in the seaside convent jail where they trap all such women to "protect the world from their sin" and milk their flames like farm animals to make drugs. Noon, a young woman who can harness the green, mysterious winnow flame by snapping life energy from plants/animals. She hires Tor and Noon to help her on her researches and is totally driven but can be incredibly compassionate when not blinded by scholarly obsession. Pros:Ī) Amazing characters including: -Lady Vintage, a rich give-no-fucks lady archaeologist who uses her family money to explore the mysteries of the behemoth remains scattered throughout the world (and poisoning it - like malevolent miracle grow!). It left me with a book hangover in the best of ways. ![]() I've never read a series with multiple pov before where I loved all the characters and didn't want to skip ahead. ![]() Lovecraftian in the best ways incredible characters optimistic despite the acute perils and realistic treatments of danger. ![]() A fantasy-scifi epic for the ages in a compact trilogy. ![]()
