The people of the Seven Demesnes live in unease. Every generation, seven sons are born to rule their seven walled cities. Without them, mankind is fated to fall. Now, something is killing them before they can be born. When Iminique Demascus senses a nameless evil striking at the unborn royal children, she has to make a choice. A noblewoman and a healer in a world where aristocrats and mages belong to different castes, she is forbidden by her father to ever heal. Breaking his dictate, she saves a single girl child. No one thanks her. Neither the child's parents nor the people want a girl, reviling her for surviving when the males perished. Left as the princess's sole protector and faced with adversity and hostility from nearly every quarter, Iminique allies herself with the wizard who once dragged her to the brink of death and then inexplicably let her go; a wizard who has his own secret agenda and casts spells that should be impossible. Meanwhile, in the south, a young sorceress falls prey to an ancient enemy, one weaving his own plans for bringing mankind to its knees. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Heiress of Healing was a page-turner since the beginning and I enjoyed the book until the very last page (that ending killed me... I want to know what happens next so badly!). The world-building and characters were done very well and I can't really fit the book in only one genre. I'd say it's fantasy; new adult; historical-fiction although the story seems to be set in an alternate world making it high-fantasy. The only thing that I think could make this book better is the pace. Things happen very quickly and time flies by. I understand that the author needed years to pass in order to make the story develop and introduce new characters and aspects of the world. But this is just my opinion and it's been a while since I read a story based in another (complex) world.
My favorite character is Iminique (who doesn't love a strong female character?) but I have to say I'm very curious about Quentyn and Evander. Ara and Elixir left a lot unsaid and I need to know what happens next!
