Sarah's Reviews > The Empress of Salt and Fortune

This was wonderful - subtle and satisfying, violent and validating. Save it for an afternoon or evening when you can read the whole novella at once - you'll miss things, otherwise. I loved the agender archivist and her magical realism/jhereg-style smartass commentator hoopoe, and while it took a few chapters to get used to the framing device, it became increasingly powerful as the story progressed. Highly recommended!
