Awesome / The Seven Realms Series

• In The Grey Wolf Throne, Raisa's return to the Fells is absolutely breathtaking. Magic, warriors, cheering crowds, and conniving nobles. They are all there and it's absolutely epic.
• Raisa eventually tells off the men in charge of her nation's military for mostly hiring outside mercenaries, whose loyalty is iffy at best, when her people are starving and in need of jobs. She then goes on to say that she will be discharging most of these foreign mercenaries and hiring from the actual citizens of the Fells.
