Commentary To Books The Traitor Baru Cormorant (The Masquerade #1)

Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home and see red sails on the horizon.

The Empire of Masks is coming, armed with coin and ink, doctrine and compass, soap and lies. They'll conquer Baru’s island, rewrite her culture, criminalize her customs, and dispose of one of her fathers. But Baru is patient. She'll swallow her hate, prove her talent, and join the Masquerade. She will learn the secrets of empire. She’ll be exactly what they need. And she'll claw her way high enough up the rungs of power to set her people free.

In a final test of her loyalty, the Masquerade will send Baru to bring order to distant Aurdwynn, a snakepit of rebels, informants, and seditious dukes. Aurdwynn kills everyone who tries to rule it. To survive, Baru will need to untangle this land’s intricate web of treachery - and conceal her attraction to the dangerously fascinating Duchess Tain Hu.

But Baru is a savant in games of power, as ruthless in her tactics as she is fixated on her goals. In the calculus of her schemes, all ledgers must be balanced, and the price of liberation paid in full.

You are probably going to hate this book. Seth Dickinson knows this and gives you fair warning at the outset. "This is the truth. You will know because it hurts." And even then, you aren't prepared. Over the course of 400 tight and tense pages, the book lives up to its promise. Like its namesake, The Traitor Baru Cormorant lures you in, puts you at your ease, wins your confidence, and then destroys you. Not wasting time with the often superficial cynicism towards humanity's innate corrupt nature

I will remake the world so that no woman will ever have to do this again. Ive been sitting here, looking at a blank word document, for almost twenty minutes. I dont even know how to possibly start a review for this book. I can honestly say that I have never read anything, in my entire life, like The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson. This book was so very quiet, but it spoke so very loudly to me. But this is easily one of the best books Ive read in my entire life. Baru Cormorant learns

This is the truth. You will know because it hurts.The Traitor Baru Cormorant is one of a kind. It's a book that will lie to you, gladly, luring you into a sense of false safety. Then it will pull the carpet from underneath your feet laughing and you fall to your ass like the gullible fool you are, completely astonished.It's taken me a few weeks to collect myself after that fall, to try to settle in that truth that Seth Dickinson first kept from us and then so smugly shoved us in. His book is

Sadly, I gave up halfway through. I just saw no reason to continue forcing my way through what didnt work for me. This is one of those cases where Goodreads ratings arent very helpful. While its accurate to say I did not like it, this isnt really a 1-star book. Its a book where I couldnt suspend my disbelief because I didnt believe in the main character and found many of the plot choices awkward and forced.The Traitor Baru Cormorant is another book like An Unkindness of Ghosts where the themes

A relentless tale of deceptions, betrayals, rebellion, gender identity, politics, with a royal accountant protagonistKevin Weis review at Fantasy Literature covers the themes and merits of this excellent book so eloquently that there isnt much more I can add, other than to say this book is fiercely intelligent, frequently brutal in the moral dilemmas that its central character Baru Cormorant faces, and the world it depicts is incredibly detailed and complicated, just like our own world. It

This is a book about female Machiavelli armed with ledgers. Also, a lesbian.I could probably end my review here, but there is much more to Baru Cormorant. Apparently, everything I need to drop everything I do and absolutely disregard my carefully planned reading schedule is three words: epic geopolitical fantasy. While the book is undoubtedly epic and downright geopolitical, it simultaneously is more dystopian than a fantasy, so if you expect your books to dazzle you with a complex magic system
