When you set out to make a paradise, first make sure you aren't making a new special variant of hell seems to be the moral of A Stranger In The Citadel. We follow a young princess as she discovers things aren't quite as simple as she imagined and ends up going on an unintended voyage of discovery about her world. Pretty well paced and tantalizes with just enough detail to keep you going to the big reveals near the end.

And any book that starts with the line “Thou shall not suffer a librarian to live.” has already got a pretty interesting hook!
