(2) YA Nineteen-year-old mage Liliath commands the Archangel Palleniel, whom she loves zealously. Her calculating plot to return Palleniel to power hinges upon four seemingly ordinary young people. Introducing five fully realized characters and their richly detailed world (inspired by the seventeenth-century France of Dumas's Musketeers) takes time; the pace picks up with court intrigue, beastling attacks, witty banter, and the posturing of rival military factions. Nix's fantasy setting is characterized by welcome gender equality, orientation inclusivity, and racial diversity.
