Daughter of the Empire by Janny Wurts, Raymond E. Feist

calbowen's review against another edition

4.0

I enjoyed this novel very much.

Though it is set in the world of the Riftwar cycle, this has little to nothing to do with the first trilogy, beyond mere mention.

However, this is still a well written and executed story, with politics in the forefront of a very pseudo-Asian setting. There is action and fighting mixed with even more intrigue and political games with a gain for one family over another on the horizon. This is not my type of fantasy novel usually, but the partnership of Janny Wurtz and Raymond Feist have made this an enjoyable first book to say the least.

Glad I’m listening to the audiobook so I can soak in the details and imagine the world in my mind. Mara if so clever - absolutely love to watch her plans unfold.
