After reading the Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier, I just knew I had to read more of her work. While I’ve not yet made time for backlist books, this start to a new series, Harp of Kings, was irresistible. It also had a double whammy for expectations. First, I loved her other books so much, that my standards for Marillier are pretty high. Second, I found the premise of this series a must read no matter who the author was.
