4.0
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one. The ending has a bit of a deus ex machina feel to it, but I enjoyed getting there, and it was much more satisfying than a sort of similar ending to another series the Tearling books by Erika Johansen that I read not too long ago.

In the land of the Hindu Kush there's a land where women rule, and bear magic. It's a land straight out of Rudyard Kipling with a Britain trying to help defend from encroaching Russians. The Briton doesn't believe in magic and don't believe women can have power but she's determined to prove them wrong.
It's an interesting homage to Kipling and a fun story of culture clash and magical workings.
