Why read it?

1 author picked The Windward King as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

If I had one complaint about this book, it's that theworld building is SO dense. So much detail was put into everything and there was a lot to keep track of from politics to language and turns of phrase to the type of games people are playing. The story of friendship and a character finding their confidence while solving a mystery steeped in levels of political intrigue, however, will keep you reading even if you're like me and aren't hugely worried about tiny cultural details.

The characters are also charming, gently flawed but loveable, with disability and chronic illness reps.
