Morgan L Bauman

What an excellent book. I got a bit of a slow start on it, lost in the jumble of names and places, but I hung in and am so very very glad that I did. This is not a cookie cutter fantasy tale. Bauman weaves a hard-hitting story that, while fun and exciting, also addresses difficult things like politics and discrimination. I was very impressed with the writing and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
