Review: Red Sister

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, here's a delightful new twist.
Mallory Towers with magic, murder, and myth.
It would have been a good girl's-school book on it's own.
It would have been a pretty decent dark Harry Potter.
It would have been a pretty good roguelike slumrat orphan revenge tale.
There's even a decent sci-fi angle that feels way bigger than the story.
But there's also a fantastic new system of magic, awesome characters, tense pace, and rich, sprawling, deep story that's nothing short of brilliant.

Would I read more? Can't wait.
