Average rating4
In this epic fantasy series for fans of George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb, Jewel Markess must contend with deadly court politics, and visions of looming magical threats. Times are truly desperate within Averalaan’s hundred holdings. Street children are disappearing, theft and violence are increasing, and even Jewel Markess’s den is finding it hard to make ends meet. Demonic activity has escalated in both the Undercity and the mortal surface level city as the worshipers and servants of the Lord of the Hells strive to complete the rituals that will return their god to the mortal realm. As Rath joins with mages and the Twin Kings' agents to wage a secret battle against this nearly unstoppable foe, he gives Jewel and her den of orphans the opportunity to escape the chaos by providing them with a note of introduction to the head of House Terafin, where Jewel will discover her destiny.

I read it, but - GAH! I feel like I need to go back and read [b:The Hidden City 1385783 The Hidden City (The House War, #1) Michelle Sagara West http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266788937s/1385783.jpg 1375829], then read it again, to be sure I got everything. I think I'll wait until [b:House Name 6121287 House Name (The House War, #3) Michelle Sagara West http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1279636477s/6121287.jpg 6299563] comes out, then read all three of them together. At that point, I'll probably be ready for a re-read of [b:The Sun Sword 153223 The Sun Sword (The Sun Sword, #6) Michelle Sagara West http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266483918s/153223.jpg 147905] (really, the whole series) again. But of course, to do them justice, I should go back and read the Hunter duology, too. This is the problem with [a:Michelle Sagara West 6256 Michelle Sagara West http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg]! Her world is SO rich that it's difficult to find a good beginning place. But very well worth it, I promise!
