Title: Engrossing, incomplete
Review: I had not read the other reviews here before I read this book, and thus was rather disappointed to find that it is only the first part of a longer work.I found the story quite engaging--one of the most interesting aspects of the book is the treatment of the characters' response to being shifted out of their world. Why, Miranda wonders, should she _care_ about Roumania or being the white tyger or any of it. At one point she asks, "Dream-world messenger! What kind of crap is that?" It's refreshing not to have the author assume that everyone is absorbed in the politics of fantasy-land. The skewed Old World of Roumania has some amusing quirks (not least the old-timey spelling of the name).On the down side, our heroes are not very bright people, and after a while it becomes exasperating to watch them flounder around. Also, the style is irritating at times--couldn't a copy editor, or at least a native English speaker, show Park where the words "almost" and "always" go in a sentence?
