Isako is a legendary swordswoman, but every legend must come to an end. When her long-time client unexpectedly retires, she plans to follow—to walk out into the frozen wasteland of their planet with her head held high and her family enriched by her death. But when she's offered a final mission, she can't refuse, especially when she realizes who lies at the center of it all: Martim, her last and worst apprentice, who's somehow made his way to the top. Librarian Beverly loved the worldbuilding in local author Fonda Lee's latest novel! You can read her full review in the June Staff Picks list. |
