Med Cezir'i Beklerken 2. Kitap
I recently wrote in another review about how that book was adult fantasy fiction in that it eschewed a lot of the fantasy genre staples and rigidly employed a "show don't tell" aesthetic. This book does that even more so, often having more in common with historic fiction than fantasy. The book follows one aristocratic family caught up in the events surrounding the fall of a king and sets the scene for the tumult that will follow. It gets four stars rather than five for being published in Britain, but confusingly keeping American terms. Perhaps this annoyed me more than it should have done. Probably it did. But it somewhat takes you out of the book when you have to (for example) mentally translate "elk" to "red deer" and "moose" to "elk" so many times.
