Jennifer Fallon, The Immortal Prince
Tor (2007) ISBN: 0-7653-1682-X
Score: 2
Start of the Tide Lords series, a high fantasy about some immortals whose power waxes and wanes drastically over the centuries. The heroine is a common-born scholar (married to a duke) who is asked to question a convicted murderer who claims to be the titular Tide Lord after hanging failed to kill him. The characterization is well done (except for the romantic subplot) and it's nice to see fantasy where "immortal" means "unkillable" rather than "immune to age and disease", but the worldbuilding seems a bit weak (the nations seem to have kept the same names and boundaries for thousands of years).
Next Book: Tobias S. Buckell, Sly Mongoose
