![]() ![]() The world has two main societies explored: the Ellest society and the Valian. The Oremere mystery relied a little too heavily on the reader knowing the series is called the Oremere Chronicles to make it intriguing when the word appears in thoughts or written on trees. All the pieces were given to the reader, there was no information dumped on you in a villain’s monologue – which would have been lazy. The small incidents slowly built up (with a few da-da-dah! points to highlight this thing is important) until the answers were (at least partially) revealed by the King. The big central mysteries (who is Bleak, what is Oremere, what is the King up to) were gradually introduced. This book was a fun read, moving at a gentle pace with lush descriptions and steady character development. The leader of an infamous society of warriors, the Valia Kindred, lays claim to her as well, and Bleak finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she anticipated.īlurb taken from Goodreads.
