2019 book 33

Melina Marchetta's Finnikin of the Rock
I wanted to read another epic fantasy sort of story, but nothing I started was hitting the right note, so I decided to reread this. I like this story a lot—Marchetta is one of my favorite authors—but there is a lot of rape and brutality that makes it hard to read. Anyway, it’s kind of your classic fantasy story, gotta reclaim a kingdom from a magical curse, but the focus here is really on the relationships between the characters, which I appreciate.
