Publisher's Summary
In Seth Dickinson's highly anticipated debut The Traitor Baru Cormorant, a young woman from a conquered people tries to transform an empire in this richly imagined geopolitical fantasy. Baru Cormorant believes any price is worth paying to liberate her people - even her soul.
When the Empire of Masks conquers her island home, overwrites her culture, criminalizes her customs, and murders one of her fathers, Baru vows to swallow her hate, join the empire's civil service, and claw her way high enough to set her people free. Sent as an imperial agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru discovers it's on the brink of rebellion. Drawn by the intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a circle of seditious dukes, Baru may be able to use her position to help. As she pursues a precarious balance between the rebels and a shadowy cabal within the empire, she orchestrates a do-or-die gambit with freedom as the prize.
But the cost of winning the long game of saving her people may be far greater than Baru imagines.

great narration and fascinating plot
this is a long story. narration is beautiful and the plot is captivating. I would recommend you only listen to this book when you're paying attention. the plot moves quickly and names of characters are similar so it's easy to get confused.

Fantastic
A hidden gem that deserves more attention. Dynamic characters, a fascinating yet not overwhelming world, and a plot to back it all up.

really original
i really enjoyed this book and the series. the story is amazing and so original if at times not easy for me to follow. the narrator has a really pleasant vocal timbre, but sometimes i just get hung up on some mispronounced words - tabard, duchy, for example - words that get repeated a lot in this story. i know that some words have more than one accepted pronunciation, but not these, lol. i’m probably picky - but i feel like it’s the details that matter in making a performance really sing. i still thought it was great overall!!
