Absolutely loved the beginning of this book, which kicks off with a princess refusing to die on her brother’s funeral pyre. Exiled to a distant tower, she meets a chambermaid (with a mysterious past, of course) and their growing relationship is so well done, all tension and suspicion and reluctant respect. Meanwhile, a growing rebellion in the kingdom is complicating things for both of them (to say the least). I also liked the magic system, very much one in which you can’t get something for nothing.
