Phil in SF reviewed River of Souls by Beth Bernobich (River of Souls, #0.5)
i don't understand SF&F's poet fetish
3 stars
Main character goes to a big city in the neighboring empire because he believes he was the lover of a famous poet of that city in a previous life. The famous poet is old now, and hasn't really published poetry like she had when she was younger. Can our MC's dreams awaken the poet she once was? Am I going to care? No.
