Title: Charming book
Review: Sort of like a John Le Carre novel set in an alternate reality where ghosts exist. I really loved it; to me, the strange yet familier political meandering and unrushed development made the story all that much more fun. Don't just read a few pages then give up when you don't get immediate satisfaction. Hang in there through at least the first couple of chapters, and if you have any taste you'll love it. :)Wish Modesitt would write more books like this. I personally don't find his Tolkienesque works all that appealing but this book, well, it's one of my favorites. The sequal, "The Ghost of the Revalator" is decent, but not as good as this, IMHO.
Is the review positive or negative?
