Amanda Downum
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Amanda was born in Virginia and, after travelling widely, she was sucked into the gravity well of Texas and hasn't managed to escape. Yet. She has a BA in English Literature, and is now a bookstore minion while writing and beast-herding her many animals full time. She lives near Austin.
*Starred Review* Several years have passed since the events chronicled in Drowning City (2009), the first volume in Downum’s Necromancer Chronicles. Issylt is now at home in Erisin and working as a King’s Investigator, though her necromancy skills mean she takes on the toughest cases—like finding the prostitute found dead clutching jewelry that was buried with the queen. Fortunately the king is on a campaign as he hasn’t been all too rational since the queen died three years past, leaving Issylt a few weeks to uncover the tomb raiders, solve the dead girl’s murder, and deal with the entrenched and complex aristocracy jockeying for power. As Issylt digs deep into the history of the palace, of several prominent families, and of the city itself, she uncovers matters everyone else would prefer she leave alone. Downum’s second fantasy is as sharp and complex as the first, full of fascinating characters, from the transvestite mistress of the prince to his warrior wife. As the setting and many of the characters are new to the series, Bone Palace works fine as a good starting point for new readers. Suggest to fans of the equally dark and imaginative Nights of Villjamur (2010). --Jessica Moyer
