Synopsis: “Sorne,
the estranged son of a King on the verge of madness, is being raised as a
weapon to wield against the mystical Wyrds.
Half a continent away, his father is planning to lay siege to the
Celestial City, the home of the T’En, whose wyrd blood the mundane population
have come to despise. Within the City,
Imoshen, the only mystic to be raised by men, is desperately trying to hold her
people together. A generation long feud
between the men of the Brotherhoods and the women of the sacred Sisterhoods is
about to come to a head.”
Review: I’m going
to be upfront about something right away; please don’t judge me. I bought this book because I fell in love
with the cover. Look at it. It’s beautiful. Can you blame me? It was when I started reading Besieged that I
realized this novel is beautiful inside and out. I became emotionally invested in the lives of the characters. If I hadn't been able to finish reading this in one day I would have worried about the characters while not reading. The fantastic world building and political
intrigue in this epic fantasy novel will keep you reading for hours that feel
like seconds. I read Besieged in one day
and immediately ordered the second and third in the series. I highly recommend reading Besieged.
