Melusine - Likewise Book Reviews

"This 4 volume series is one of the most extraordinary fantasy world building books I've ever read, and it's seriously underrated. The characters are distinctive and fully drawn, and the world itself is fully realized. One of the few series I've read maintains quality throughout. This is not about action-packed adventure, although a lot goes on in it, but about life, character, and human relationships. Ursula Le Guin said that the value of fantasy is in the way it allows you to examine the non-fantasy world through a different lens. This book is epitome of doing just that."
