Recently finished this. It's about a girl whose whole family and village is slaughtered by her grandfather, and she is sent to track him down and bring him to justice.

It's a very different read to most fantasy. Very dark, violent, not much humour - all reflective of the main character. It's told in an unreliable first person narrator style, it's very fragmented and often jumps back and forth in time. Reminds me in some ways of Wolfe both in that narration and in terms of the writing style (I hate saying that as Wolfe's name is so often invoked here, but he's the closest comparison). The world building and cultures presented also have some inventiveness, they're not your standard medieval fantasy fare. A re-read will definitely be needed to get the most out of it. Will definitely read more by this chap.
