The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
I really like Bardugo’s specific model of grownup fantasy, with its advanced characters and darkness, and her newest appears to make use of these identical partaking parts. It’s the sixteenth century, and the Golden Age of Spain, and Luzia is a lowly kitchen servant who can carry out mild magic. When her mistress realizes her expertise, she tries to use her to the good thing about bored the Aristocracy. But, this results in Luzia gaining the eye of Antonio Pérez, who’s attempting to get again in good with the king after a shame. As Luzia will get deeper into the world of miracle staff, seers, and alchemists, she turns into extra recognized, and due to this fact extra in peril if the very fact of her Jewish heritage have been to get out. But there’s a acquainted, Guillén Santangel, who may assist safe her future…even when their secrets and techniques could also be worse than hers.
