Commentaire
The number one best thing about Breanna Teintze's books is voice. Her voice, the characters' voice, it's fantastic and never contrived. Her characterization is great. I even liked the bad guys! Teintze shows a range of skill in Lady of Shadows by making a fantastical whodunit, with twists that keep you pulling toward the finale. She delves deeper in the magic and politics as well; they're very well thought out and intriguing Charlie N. Holmberg, author of The Paper Magician
