The village, she was assigned to, constantly asked for her help but hated when she spoke her mind WTF Shea was a strong character probably cuz of all the shit she had to put up with. To me this was the best part of the book that really stood out from other fantasy adventures I enjoyed all the weirdness of the beasts and the sinister feeling about the Highlands. I personally thought it was a fascinating backdrop that I wished we had more insight into. It wasn't specific on the general time period or what the cataclysm was, but it did establish the kind of society with the Lowlands and Highlands system. Strong female lead with great descriptions about how she saw herself and how others saw her

If they’d listened, everybody would still be alive. “The point was that she was right, and they were wrong. She flat-out called things how they were. She was a strong-ass woman and her strength came from her mind and experiences. She didn't have some random gift or magical knowledge that fought against pUrE eViL!! After reading several books with special snowflakes *sigh*, it was truly amazing when this book featured a kick-ass heroine. For danger looms on the horizon and a partnership with the Warlord may be the only thing preventing the destruction of everything she holds dear.ĪLL fUCKING HAiL My QuEEN ShEAA ! Presenting a heroine with a unique skill that she TRAINED hard for and excelled but had NOTHING to do with MAGIC of any sort! Her decision might mean the difference between life or death. When the people she serves betray her into servitude to the Trateri, a barbarian horde sweeping through the Lowlands intent on conquest, Shea relies on her wits and skill to escape, disguising herself as a boy to hide from the Warlord, a man as dangerous as he is compelling.Īfter being mistaken as a Trateri scout during her escape, Shea finds herself forced to choose between the life she led and the possibilities of a new one. It’s not an easy job, but she’s the best at what she does.

As a pathfinder, it’s her job to face what others fear and find the safest route through the wilderness. Lucky for the people she serves, Shea’s not exactly sane. Monstrous creatures and deadly mysteries wait out here. Deep in the remote expanse where anything can happen, it pays to be on a pathfinder’s good side. The Trateri are about to learn a vital lesson of the Broken Lands.
