At the beginning of the story, she’s bitter at the world and desperately trying to drown her sorrows and her self-pity in wine or spirits. It took me a while to get into Tess’s character. I still enjoyed the complex and intricate setting with its cultural and spiritual elements. Since I enjoyed the books about Seraphina, Tess’s half-sister, I looked forward to revisiting the story world in Tess of the Road. Her tumultuous past is a heavy burden to carry, and the memories she’s tried to forget threaten to expose her to the world in more ways than one. This friend is a quigutl–a subspecies of dragon–who gives her both a purpose and protection on the road. So when she runs into an old friend, it’s a stroke of luck. Where Tess is headed is a mystery, even to her. As her family plans to send her to a nunnery, Tess yanks on her boots and sets out on a journey across the Southlands, alone and pretending to be a boy. You can’t make a scene at your sister’s wedding and break a relative’s nose with one punch (no matter how pompous he is) and not suffer the consequences. In the medieval kingdom of Goredd, women are expected to be ladies, men are their protectors, and dragons get to be whomever they want. Published on FebruAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads ![]()
