Excellent story, filled with joyful highs, and despairing, nightmarish lows. It's sensual on many levels, and exciting. The stories only get more exciting as the series goes on. The world is so richly described, the characters are so full and roundly portrayed, you find yourself loving people you should hate, and vice versa. Phadre's world mimics our own in many ways, unlike so many fantasy novels, you're not floundering around lost in a total alien geography.

Original, interesting story, so well told, I highly recommend grabbing this book, as well as the next two.
