Interesting and somewhat surreal retelling of a Hungarian folk story, set in modern-day Detroit. I found it a bit confusing in the beginning; this was due in part to the frequent changes in points of view, and in part because the book plunges right into the story with no setup, leaving the reader to figure out for oneself what's going on. But I persevered and ended up with that delighted, surprised feeling one sometimes gets at the end of a good story.
I'm not familiar with Megan Lindholm, but I regard Steven Brust as one of the most interesting and creative fantasy authors I have read.
