                                      review: 
Excellent entertaining fantasy. Five different narrative voices, and yet all of them were clear and distinct; great interesting characters all around. I especially appreciated that several of the main characters were older, and their age was handled with depth and sympathy. The magic was coherent, consistent, and interesting to read about. I hope he writes more in this setting.
