Karen Chance is one of my favorite authors and she does not disappoint with her Lia de Croissets stories. They are set in the same world as her Cassie Palmer and Dorina Basarab series but they don’t intersect the timeline just yet.

One of the reasons I love the Lia stories is we get a look at this world from a different perspective. Cassie and Dory are dealing with the big dogs, the ruling bodies: the Circle and the Senate. But Lia is dealing with the people who have been cast out or are on the run from those ruling bodies. It’s an underground scene, quite literally. We get to see how the Circle/Senate’s laws affect the common magic user. And we get some interaction with the Weres of this world which is great since they have very little screen time in the Cassie/Dory books. Plus Lia just kicks ass! Highly recommend; an excellent addition to the Chanceverse. ( )
