Review title: Surely you jest!
Product review: ha ha. Sorry. I couldn't resist.When I first started reading Mimus, I was slightly skeptical. It was sort of an "Oh God, not another plucky-younger-hero-faces-adversity-and-is-a-bloody-genius piece of shmaltz". But it really isn't.The characters are actually quite fleshy. My personal favorite is Mimus, the suffering enigmatic jester who takes young Prince Florin (who improves as the story goes on) under his ragged wing.I also like the villain, King Theodo. He is a great villain, but he's not portrayed as a total fiend. He is a loving father, a devoted husband, and an all and all ok king. He's just also got this thing about locking other kings up and humiliating their heirs. Whatever.So try it out. It's not your standard medieval-fantasy stuff, even though it outwardly may seem to be.
