Rihasi

Tuyo, Book 9

By: Rachel Neumeier

Narrated by: Josie Paolini

Rihasi Gerogevet of Saraicana has a problem.

She knows just who can help her solve it: Lord Aras Eren Samaura, the king’s most powerful scepter-holder. But Lord Aras is in Gaur, a long journey from Saraicana, and getting there safely isn’t going to be easy. Especially as a lot of people are determined to make sure she doesn’t get there at all.

Kior Voeret has a secret.

The absolute last person he wants to face is Lord Aras Eren Samaura. But he can’t let a naïve, inexperienced young man get himself killed on the road. That’s all right: Kior doesn’t have to commit to going all the way to the scepter-holder’s doorstep. He can escort the young man to the border of Gaur, then walk away long before he gets close enough for Lord Aras to notice anything unfortunate.

It’ll be fine.

Really.

Outstanding Addition to Tuyo World

I love the character development in this novel, the subject matter is extremely fraught but not graphic. I think RN has a very interesting magic system and world. But I think her characters are so strong and consistent, with a lot of dialogue that reveals emotional growth. Plus the stories are so effective and interesting that RN is one of my favourite authors.

Interesting series

I’ve enjoyed the mix of magics, world building and resolution of conflicts between the two main cultures. The narrator is an excellent actor with inflections, animation and multiple characters. And, I like the personal balance that develops between the 2 main characters.
