2018 School Spending Survey Report
The Price of Redemption
COPY ISBN
DEBUT Marquese Enid d’Tancreville’s escape from her revolution- and religion-torn country is about to be scuttled by an advancing warship, but rescue comes in the unexpected form of a tiny ship captained by too-brave-for-his-own-good Lieutenant Rue Nath. The ensuing skirmish costs Nath his ship’s mage. This presents Enid with a dilemma: should she continue her own journey to Albion as she runs from her enemy? Or should she become the new mage and face the enemy with the ship’s cannons behind her? Enid chooses to fight alongside Nath’s crew, who will follow their captain to hell—and may yet have to.
VERDICT There’s plenty to savor in this first book in the “Tides of Magic” trilogy for fans of Patrick O’Brian’s “Aubrey/Maturin” novels, readers seeking a new fantasy to fill the void left by the end of Naomi Novik’s “Temeraire” series, lovers of Our Flag Means Death, those looking for a less-cozy take on Rebecca Thorne’s Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea, and anyone who’d like to rehash the Napoleonic Wars with a compelling narrative, great characters, swashbuckling derring-do, and epic, heartbreaking betrayals.
