Reviewed by ken<i>The sun sparkled against the sea, and a gentle breeze caressed the revitalized world.</i> If I could give this book more than five stars, I would. The pacing was perfect and the characters were amazing and complex. And I'm still screaming about Théra and Zomi. It was the kind of reveal that I always enjoy—sudden, but not really. It was a pleasant surprise and one that fueled my reading. The politics is rich and authentic and inevitably heart-wrenching. I appreciate how fearless Liu is when it comes to introducing and killing off characters. The Battle of Zathin Gulf was also a masterful telling of military events and tactics. Arguably, the only military tactics I've read so far were for the actual military and not a fictitious kind focused on narrative, Liu's stylistic grace still made the events easy to follow. Once again, I am ready for the next one.
