Marie Brennan's Turning Darkness into Light
This was a nice way to say goodbye to this world—the protagonist is Lady Trent's granddaughter, and we do get to hear about a bunch of the characters from the earlier books, and the impact those adventures had on the future generations. I also admit this was a little more in my wheelhouse, as the protagonist is a linguist who is working on translating some newly discovered and exciting ancient texts! (I had hopes for a lil sapphic love story between her and the socially awkward niece of her employer, but it was not to be.) Eventually the story does get pretty action-packed in a way that is slightly over the top, but still a fun read. A/A-.
