The Sundering

Hundred

Nowhere and no one is safe.

Stripped of her rank and her calling by some of her most trusted friends, Yvonne is left shocked and bleeding. Worse is to come. Not only are children still going missing, but she learns that the death of an old friend might not have been natural.

With old friendships torn apart, Yvonne must work out who she can trust if she is to find the truth.

The Sundering continues the story started in The Gathering.

If you like your fantasy with plenty of mystery, magic, and a strong heroine, you'll want to continue this fantasy series by Vanessa Nelson.

I’m a Vanessa Nelson fan so…

Maybe the third series I’ve read by Nelson. There’s something about the working relationship and trust she works at building between the main characters I really enjoy.
Super interesting magic system.
After finishing the last series I was thrilled to find this one. The worlds and magic and plots are all different, and anything similar is what I like about them.
In this one though, I’m not sure if it was how it was narrated or written, but Yvonne eventually frustrates me a bit with how much she shrinks from touch. I got the terrible reason but… she never changes. Well so far anyway.
Maybe because I really liked Gueys (spelling?) who is kind of awesome.
Narration was good.
