Naamah's Curse

In the second book of Moirin's trilogy, she explores many cultures in a fantasy version of Asia. As usual, I enjoyed seeing her encounter different ways of life, and enjoyed seeing the adventures she encounters in her life. At the same time, I still feel like her diadh-anam is leading her by the nose on a path she likely would not otherwise have taken. Now, her diadh-anam also controls her romantic feelings and relationships, so her and Bao's bond is no longer of their own free will. She is also getting pretty overfull of natural advantages and mystical powers, so that her successes often feel too easy and assured. I continued on to finish Moirin's trilogy, but I think Phedre's trilogy is going to continue to be my favorite section of the overall series.
