Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells

[snugglekitty]

Maskelle has been on the road since she lost her temple position.  A little magic, a little violence, and a lot of street smarts are enough to get her by.  But things get hotter and hotter after she rescues an outlaw warrior.  Can they get to the bottom of the mysterious happenings in the Celestial Empire?

This is a stand-alone fantasy by the author of the Ile-de-Rien series.  I found it engaging and funny.  Recommended to fans of fantasy, especially those who enjoy magical and religious themes.  Three stars.
