The Executioness by Tobias S. Buckell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Excellent book, fast read. Fantasy setting (magic) but focuses on the casualties of war – those that are captured, those that are killed, and those that are left behind. The book focuses mostly on the last of these – a woman whose husband was killed, children captured , and town destroyed and the choices she makes to reclaim her family and her life. Depressing subject matter told in a matter-of-fact way that made the book serious but uplifting in a way.
