Marie Brennan is a former anthropologist and folklorist who shamelessly pillages her academic fields for material. She recently misapplied her professors' hard work to Turning Darkness Into Light, a sequel to the Hugo Award-nominated series The Memoirs of Lady Trent. As half of M.A. Carrick, she is also the author of The Mask of Mirrors, first in the Rook and Rose trilogy. For more information, visit swantower.com, Twitter @swan_tower, or her Patreon.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The setup, though slow, helps you get a feel of the world and it's laws before the story really starts going. With that being said, I don't plan to read the next book in the series. Just not motivated enough.
