Title: What an interesting character!
Product review: Having been a fan of Merceds Lackey for over a decade, I've gotten to the point where I can't wait for her books to come out in paperback. Her new books about individuals in Valdemar fit my impatience very well. Each book is tied into things I've already read about, but it doesn't leave me waiting for the rest of the story. I think it's an excellent way to fill in some of the colorful bits that might otherwise be overlooked in more sweeping epics.I enjoyed learning about Skif and the things that made him who he is. I particularly enjoyed her depiction of the life of a good-natured thief. There were parts of the story that could have used some more detail, but they did not significantly detract from the adventure. All things considered, it was a pleasant weekend diversion and a nice change of pace from the wars between nations. If only she could write as quickly as I want to read!
