Andrea Höst is a significantly under-rated author. Her characters are so finely wrought that I feel like they really do exist. The relationships are similarly convincing. The world building contains plenty of originality, depth and cool quirks so that, consequently, I've ended the story unsatisfied: there seems to be so much more to explore...perhaps another book will come?  In conclusion, I loved it.I also loved Höst's Touchstone series and her Medair books. I  couldn't put them down the second time I read them either. Champion of the Rose will be a satisfying re-read too, I suspect. I feel a bit stupid for not having bought this book earlier 'cos it is so obvious that Höst is a consistently engrossing storyteller.
