Review
Dalriya is a place reminiscent of Westeros. With all the political intrigue but not as grim.
We follow Sanc’s family; he’s the son of a duke and nephew to the king of Guivergne. It is primarily a coming-of-age story. With war as the book’s central theme, the characters are forced to hastily grow and resort to previously inconceivable measures to keep their loved ones safe.
The book includes a helpful Dramatis Personae at the beginning, but I suggest you also take advantage of the maps available on the author’s page to keep track of the complex world he has created.
I had no idea of the scope of this tale, but I’m certain Edmundson has more surprises in the saga that I would gladly dive into.
