Fantasy/to review
An interesting fantasy set in an interesting land. Where spores can kill you, where the borders are a bit? Like what is beyond, we do not know, it might kill us.
Elen is a courier, she knows the land, well her corner of it. She walks the same roads, she checks for infestations. She does have a past, and it takes some time to unravel that.
Because before that a prince arrives with his entourage, and needs passage. And she has to help them. But what is the prince´s goal? Also she is so lowborn so it is not like she or anyone really could ask .
Off they all go on a dangerous adventure and something happens to the prince....
Great adventure, danger, hidden pasts and that end, how could you do that to me?! Now I need the next book.
Great narration too. She gave a real feel of places and people
When an arrogant prince (and his equally arrogant entourage) gets stuck in Orledder Halt as part of brutal political intrigue, competent and sunny deputy courier Elen―once a child slave meant to shield noblemen from the poisonous Pall―is assigned to guide him through the hills to reach his destination.
When she warns him not to enter the haunted Spires, the prince doesn’t heed her advice, and the man who emerges from the towers isn’t the same man who entered.
The journey that follows is fraught with danger. Can a group taught to ignore and despise the lower classes survive with a mere deputy courier as their guide?
I used to read a ton of fantasy in my teens and early 20s. I don't read it as much now, but I'm always on the lookout for a good one. I think I might need to check this series out. :D
