It\nreally is superb stuff--the language is\nstraightforward, but the implied complexities build\nrapidly, and the inquisitorial progress of Sir Ravd\nand the meeting with Disiri are brilliantly handled.\nFortunately, the style is nothing like that of, say,\nHoof in RETURN TO THE WHORL; the narrator, Able, is\neducated, eloquent, and wise, for all his adolescence.\nThis may be YA writing, but if so, it's in the very\ntop range. Alice, take note.\n\n--Nick Gevers."
