Sadly, finished this too long ago to remember what I wanted to say in a review. But I did enjoy it quite a bit; Kate’s quite the raconteur. I do remember that I put it down for a while after starting, but I don’t remember why.

At some point I had a lot to say about this, but I waited waaaaay too long to write my review. IIRC there’s plenty in here to annoy “both sides” and also to provoke some thought if you’re open to it.

Throne of the Crescent Moon (The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, #1)
author: Saladin Ahmed

average rating: 3.61

rating: 4

shelves: fantasy, fiction
review:
Excellent entertaining fantasy. Five different narrative voices, and yet all of them were clear and distinct; great interesting characters all around. I especially appreciated that several of the main characters were older, and their age was handled with depth and sympathy. The magic was coherent, consistent, and interesting to read about. I hope he writes more in this setting.
