Book Reviews of Fortune and Fate
Book Review: Feeding the Twelve Houses Series Need
Summary: 4 Stars
I was surprised when I found out there was one more book in the Twelve Houses series. Of course, I had to read it, and I enjoyed the point of view of another character taking the lead of the story. Shinn follows the same formula of mismatched romance and fantastical political intrigue.
Wen was one of the last standing in the previous books when King Baryn was killed, and she can't let go of the guilt. She appears as a minor character in some of the other books, and becomes the main character in this one. The point of view switches between her and the characters from the other books we know and love, Justin, Senneth, Cammon, and Tayse. It all builds to a climax that makes all the different satellites of fortune come together for a satisfying ending.
If you liked the other Twelve Houses books, you're sure to like this one. If you haven't read anything by Sharon Shinn before, it's a good introduction into this world. Then, you can go back to the first book, "Mystic and Rider", and catch up. In all, I'm looking around for a sixth book now. You never know, maybe some day it will turn up.
