My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's always amazing to get into that zone where you've found a fantastic author who keeps pumping out absolutely addictive prose, but it's another to find text so LIKEABLE and CHARMING and, when the time is just right, HEARTWRENCHING and VIOLENT for all the right reasons.

Yeah, well, this is now on the same level for me as the author's other series, the Wandering Inn. Of course, that's not so hard, since the two share the same world, so many of the same characters, references, and especially the baddies.

Let me just say that the full world and all the wonderful people in it are on full display. That, while we have new foci in it, the full weight of all that came before is something very, very special.

I LOVE this world. I have a hard time thinking of worlds I love as much as this one. There are a few, of course, but this one is rapidly becoming a top five. I should note I've read a LOT of books. To make it this high is very high praise, indeed. Take that as you will.

That being said, HOLY SHIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Those who are in the know, know, of course. Just wow.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
