2024 book 59

 Martha Wells' The Wizard Hunters

I last read this like four years ago, and I’ve read a few hundred books since then (brag), but certain scenes/images have been stuck in my mind that whole time because they’re so vivid (all the stuff with the caves, and the giant passenger ship that I think is a big part of the second book). Anyway, this is the first book in the Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy and the protagonist is a depressed playwright who is also the daughter of the badass couple from Death of the Necromancer. Their country is in a losing war against a mysterious enemy and she ends up in another world in a bid to find out more—lots of cool adventures ensue. The pacing and characters here are just on fire, totally captivating, this is such a good book.
