Negative Positive
Title: High Adventure
Review: There is a touch of the Empire Novels of Isaac Asimov (the mystery and intrigue of warring aristochratic factions), of the weird cultures of Jack Vance (can you imagine...a demi-sauvage backwoods planet whit "the Net"(in a book written in 1989!) and...a hint of the uncanny magic of Storm Constantine (go in the "Library" and see!). I'd have appreciated a more detailed description of Ivorian culture. Still, Doris Egan is a deligthful writer. I've loved Theodora and Ran. I hope to see more! Only I find that the concept of "magic" working only on a planet and not working anywhere else is absolutely implausible.
Is the review positive or negative?
