I read this book last winter and it’s stuck with me–partly for the character, partly for the plot, but mostly for the world building.
Clarke has created a rich and tasty world of gods, goddesses, legends, and tales. The view through K’Irsa’s heart and eyes took my breath as I watched her making one horrible mistake after another. With each step, I watched a woman driven by her personal demons to pursue what she believes is her honor, only to watch each step mire her deeper and deeper. Through it all, in the end, she–well, you’ll have to read it to find out what. It’s a trilogy and the second book is now available, so let that be your guide.
I thoroughly enjoyed Rider’s Revenge, but don’t take my word for it. Why not grab a sample, fill you waterskin, and grab a sample to see for yourself?
[Transparency: I met Clarke online and recently have met her in person. She’s local here in Colorado and just as delightful in person as she is behind the pen.]
