2023 book 23

 Kate Forsyth's The Forbidden Land

I think this series was initially a trilogy that spread into six books because it had so much going on. This fourth one is a slight departure, in that it has only one POV character, the little thief girl from the first two books (now in her teens), but it is still continuing the main story from the first three books and we see plenty of those characters. There’s been some business over the last few books with an enemy army made up of what are basically Christians, and that continues here. (The first half of this book is basically a heist/prison break, and I liked that much more than the war stuff in the second half.) I keep waiting for more of the THEYRE ON ANOTHER PLANET! to kick in, but there are still just brief mentions here and there. I am enjoying these, though. B+.
