Political fantasy isn’t my favorite genre, though I do like to see how much other people enjoy it. I am planning to read Cho’s Sorcerer tot he Crown one of these days, though! It looks good.

I think you’ll like it. It’s not as ‘politically focused’ as the rest and has that alt-Regency fantasy I think you enjoy. 😊

I do enjoy the alt-Regency fantasy era/style! Plus, I’ve liked what I’ve read of Zen Cho’s other work, so that’s a plus.

Uj, with the exception of The Councillor, every book here is on my tar! Might be time to bump some of them up a couple places!
