Sequel to Sorcerer and Crown. Muna and her magical sister Sakti remember little of their past; all they know is that they are inseparable, and that Sakti is fading. In trying to break their curse, they go to England where the Sorceress Royal may be able to help. However, they are separated along the way, and Muna is left with nothing but her own wits to navigate both English and fairy society, while she figures out the mystery of her and Sakti’s existence. Muna is a very Zen Cho narrator, blunt and forthright, never hesitating to point out (even if it’s just to herself) when people are being unreasonable or ridiculous. The pace of the story started out slow, but got rolling quite well in the last two-thirds.
