I found this author for on a list of Underrated Author's, while this isn't the most famous of the writer's books, it's the one that caught my eye. Told from Parallel Perspectives to the companion Book: of Sea and Shadow. This book follows Shera.

While the companion Book focused on the political intrigue of the guilds, and the intimate uses of magic. This book focuses on the greater hierarchy, and magical creatures.

Maybe because I read the companion book first, this one didn't interest me as much. Probably were all of the main plot points spoiled, from the other book. None of the characters really stood out to me.
