    The Daughters War

    Holy shit, what a great way to find out there’s a prequel to the Blacktongue Thief. Which also fits in this thread.

    I was about to die.

    Worse, I was about to die with bastards.

    Buehlman has an incredible way with words and with giving characters an absolutely unique narrative voice.

      If you can do the audiobook version of Daughters War, I’d highly recommend it.

      The reader is super charismatic and is a woman with some kind of latin accent that fits the tone and mood of the viewpoint characters so well.

      It’s like being at a poetry reading in postwar Spain.
