Lysande, as the main character, is a great character that surprised me several times. Princess Santieri’s phrase, second century, was it not?”įor me, there are two key points that made me enjoy reading this novel the first one being Lysande herself. “How does one conquer without a sword? Without a weapon?”
I will, however, add that the battle scenes were incredible, and I hope the sequel will feature more action sequences because they were so good. Except for a tournament-that takes up a small section within the entire novel-and the climax sequences, battle scenes aren’t a priority, and that’s completely okay. Do not start reading this book expecting there will be a lot of battle scenes. This, as you can probably guess, is a slow-paced novel filled with politics, scheming, conspiracy, and assassinations, and they’re handled wonderfully. In the meantime, she also has to seek who murdered the queen. The story follows Lysande Prior, a scholar chosen as the new Councillor, and her quest to choose the next ruler for the kingdom. The death of the Iron Queen Sarelin Brey has fractured the realm of Elira, and now the city-rulers are vying for the throne. The Councillor is a Machiavellian fantasy novel and debut by E.J. I think this book deserves more buzz other than a few glimpses on social media, the only occurrences where I heard about The Councillor was from Nils and Elliot Brooks. The Councillor is a Machiavellian fantasy novel I didn’t know I wanted. I have a Booktube channel now! Subscribe here: ĪRC provided by the publisher-DAW Books-in exchange for an honest review.
