I must admit that the reviewers for the cover blurb (Brust and ???), put
me off a bit when it was revealed that they and the author had
cooperated in several workshops and publishing houses.  However, I liked
Brust's stories (_Jhereg_ and _Rendl_(sp)) very much.  I don't know about ???.

I hope that this talented group of people start a new culture of
fantasy: where rules are set down so that they can be broken with
anguish by the characters, where good guys (and the reader) are misled,
and characters willing give up their (god-given) powers.

Marvelous!!!  I am always glad to see almost-mainstream quality fantasy.
