Amanda
A princess desperate to hear the voice of her goddess is sent on a quest to gather relics needed to save her kingdom from an encroaching threat.
For nearly half of the book I would have called the pace sedate, but at about the forty percent mark I realized it was slowly building to increasing stakes. A little unusual to drag it out that long, but not unpleasant.
The world building is not overly complex, but it's well thought out. The characters could have used a touch more personality, but they're solid and, most importantly, not annoying.
I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes.
