Explanation Supposing Books Daughter of the Empire (The Empire Trilogy #1)
Magic and murder engulf the realm of Kelewan. Fierce warlords ignite a bitter blood feud to enslave the empire of Tsuranuanni. While in the opulent Imperial courts, assassins and spy-master plot cunning and devious intrigues against the rightful heir. Now Mara, a young, untested Ruling lady, is called upon to lead her people in a heroic struggle for survival. But first she must rally an army of rebel warriors, form a pact with the alien cho-ja, and marry the son of a hated enemy. Only then can Mara face her most dangerous foe of all--in his own impregnable stronghold. An epic tale of adventure and intrigue. Daughter of the Empire is fantasy of the highest order by two of the most talented writers in the field today.

Favorite Riftwar book to date... wish more of Janny Wurts books were on audio, because I'm loving her influences on this collaboration. Reminds me a bit of Shalador's Lady & the Shadow Queen, from Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series (with higher stakes)... might not be able to wait until the next Buddy Read to continue...What a wonderful book. Daughter of the Empire is set in a world inspired by Asia. There's not a lot of magic, instead it's all about intrigue and politics. In addition, expect a kick-ass female character. Mara is simply one of the best female fantasy characters I've ever encountered. She is cunning and intelligent. This entire book is one big chess game filled with politics and betrayal, and Mara does not use strength and violence to win this game but her wit. It's a joy to watch her decimate
Ookay, two days later and not quite fully rested up, let's do this.So. Daughter of the Empire. Yes. Very good book. Highly recommended.The characters were excellent, really. The setting was vaguely oriental, (though as Wastrel tells me, Wurts drew a lot from Korea) so a large part of this book is political intrigue and matters of honor. If that's your team, go for it. If the whole honor thing isn't for you, maybe not as much. But the political intrigue stuff is actually really excellently
It's been a while since I've read a story with such complex political intrigue, and I enjoyed every word of it! Plot Summary Set in a Japanese-style setting and culture, Mara of the Acoma is but a few minutes away from being initiated into the service of the goddess Lashima. She is, however, rudely jerked from her chosen path when news of her father's and brother's death reaches her household. In Mara's world, power is determined by the Game of the Council, the neverending power struggle masked
I loved the Riftwar books and I'm already loving this next chapter! This may end up on my favorites list! I love Mara! Mel 🖤🐾🐺
RE-READ: this trilogy is now available on audio but I had read it so long ago I decided to give it a whirl as an audiobook. My original review (below) and rating still stand up as my feelings are still the same. This is great book, and just like when I originally read it, one of the things I appreciate the most about it is that an old skool epic fantasy doesn't have to take place in a setting that is a Medieval Western Europe analogue. One thing that did change for me a bit is that, while yes, I
I re-read this for the 3d or 5th time, but it's been at least a decade, so it was very fresh to me. Too fresh & interesting. Dann Janny & Ray, but I hit the 1/3 point yesterday & then couldn't put it down. I stayed up until midnight reading (I never go to bed after 10pm & always wake up by 6 at the latest.) so I've been dragging all morning. I wanted to take a nap on the hay rather than move it.The story is on the other side of the gate & we get a much better look at the
