The Raven Tower

by Ann Leckie

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: none. Darkness: dark.

Hamlet, more or less, narrated by a god who is a very old rock. Eolo comes home with his prince to find the ruler gone and his uncle on the throne. The second-person narration throws people at first. The ending is worth it.
