In the High Kingdom of Danton Aurelius, magisters from across the known world are gathering for an unusual meeting. The High King's son is dying of an apparently incurable wasting disease, and he has charged them with providing an explanation and a cure. There is a mystery here, but not the one the High King thinks: the magisters know the cause of the prince's illness but they dare not reveal it for fear that it will expose the secret at the heart of their order. No, the mystery is not what is responsible, but who. . .

Now the magisters must embark upon a manhunt, racing against time, before the High King learns the truth. But they have not counted on the young prince's determination to control his own fate, nor on the existence of Kamala, a young woman schooled in their own arts, who will soon shake the world to its very roots.

As always Kate Elliott does not disappoint! Character so believably human, well sort of. Good versus evil? Not necessarily! Monsters and magic.

I don't get to read much these days and I'm so glad I chose to get back into reading with Feast ...

I read about half this book in just a few short days of travelling. I don't get to read much these days and I'm so glad I chose to get back into reading with Feast of Souls. I've taken to stick-it noting pages I want to return to because I'm just having such a good time reading it. The story, although long, honestly feels like it's going to quickly. I miss reading something almost as soon as I'm on the next page. Many books that have more than one protagonist can drag, or sometimes you find that certain character developments are less interesting than others and this can make you reluctant to continue reading but I haven't yet found that whilst reading this book. Every character makes me want to read more. Although Kamala is probably my favourite I also adore Coliver and only want the best for Andovan.
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who asked.

Brilliant. Even better than the Coldfire Trilogy.

Best trilogy I've read

Reviewed in Canada on 11 May 2018

If you haven't read this trilogy yet, YOU SHOULD. I'm an extremely picky reader and from the first few pages I was hooked. I've even lent my copies out to friends to enjoy, which is why I'm buying new ones. Over the years my copies got more then a little beat up but I'm looking forward to rereading these again in their new condition.

In this world, witchcraft can be practiced by using a bit of one's life. As a result, witches are very careful about the way they use their powers but still end up dying young. Not surprisingly, a group of persons have found the way to use other people's life instead of their own and became powerful immortals, the Magisters. Magisters are all men, no women ever survived the transformation, because, apparently, they have been created in order to give life not to take it and so they can't stand the price they have to pay to become immortal (I find it hard to believe, as the fact that none who is not a Magisters know the source of their power - we are supposed to believe that no one else ever think about using over people life as a source for power before, because the ideas was too atrocious!)

Of course, a woman, Kamala, finally manages to become a Magister, but she is warned by her master that the other Magisters are all misogynist; they will refuse to believe that she is one of them and they will try to kill her. Thus she must hide her power and pretend to be a simple witch.

The Magisters use the life of "a consort" as a source of power, that's to say a random person whose identity they have no way to discover. Kamala who has really no chance ends up sucking the life of the son of the greatest king of their world. The Magisters recognized that he is a consort but they don't know who his Magister is. Nonetheless they decide to try to kill his Magister rather than take the risk of their source of power to be discovered. The young prince thus pretends to kill himself while he is send after his magister by a complicate spell.

I found the world building of this book interesting (despite the small problems that I mentioned earlier) but quite oppressive because of the way women are treated. They are all seen as inferior, as objects or worse, as whore. I didn't like the fact that the narrator or some characters keep calling the heroine a whore (as an insult or a fact I could accept it, but to say it with affection?). I was still able to appreciate the book, but it's not for everyone.

Apart from that, I liked the heroine. She knows what she wants and she has no compunction about getting it even if it includes killing other people. Colivar, one of the Magisters was intriguing and I want to learn more about him and his schemes. The plot itself was also interesting even if sometimes the pacing can be a bit slow. We get to see more Magisters, more kings and queens and of course a century old threat which is awakening to go with the rest.

I will definitely read the rest of the series.
