Yashima reviewed Jewel and Her Lapidary by Fran Wilde
Review of 'Jewel and Her Lapidary' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Epic fantasy in short fiction. And she did pull it off. At first the concept of jewels and their lapidaries did confuse me somewhat and it isn't fully explained. However the story found enough space to bring the two main characters to life and give them a good arc and strong ending and still have this epic fantasy feel to it by having this overarching concept of a magic system hinted at.
