Kate Forsyth's The Skull of the World
I liked this fifth volume a lot, not just because things were focused on Isabeau again, and she’s undergoing all sorts of cool rites and learning cool magic, but because there aren’t any endless battle scenes. I’m much more interested in the people and their relationships and the magic (I've been hoping for some queer ladies but it’s looking less likely as we go on, alas). A few characters I’ve been wondering about pop back up again, and we also have a few POV scenes from a young prince from the sea-people (who were dispossessed when the humans came in and took over). This ends on a major cliffhanger and I’m glad I can dive right into the last book. A-.
