Angel with the Sword takes place in a rich, atmospheric world where the warring religious factions of the upper class collide with the dregs of society - the canalers - who have made their own world in the literal underbelly of Merovingen, a sort of alien, medieval version of Venice. When Jones, a canaler, saves an uptowner from drowning, she is drawn into a complex game of political intrigue that takes her out of her element and into dangerous waters. The plot is compelling, and Jones is a tough, funny, and self-aware heroine who I couldn’t help but love. If you’re looking for a standout fantasy novel with interesting characters and creative worldbuilding, then I highly recommend Angel with the Sword. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
