Devera gets around.  I expect she will be poping up in all sorts of
unexpected places in future Brust books.

I don't expect inconsistancy from Brust either.  Just because humans
use witchcraft doesn't mean all humans use it.  Also, if you check
carefully, I think you will find that there is some witchcraft in BP.

Another thing that might be interesting is to check out the description
if Miklos when he returns from Fairie.
