Beautifully written, philosophical, great plot, wonderful rendering of character and atmosphere. Unlikely twists of fate, too much talking holding the reader in suspense.

short and sexy disquietinga little like ranting at times

Pleasant novel with no surprises, Astute observations on people Not very exciting

The complete story of a magical world , A pleasure to read for young and old . None
