More and more I keep finding books that are not set in the traditional Western European fantasy setting, and I have to say that I really enjoy it. The world and mythology in Raybearer is very original. Because of that, it takes a bit more time to get to understand everything, but when it clicks, it's totally worth it. I really loved the relations between the characters, be it romantic or not (the asexual admission was a very nice touch), and the story was exciting and kept me on my toes.
