Re-reading an old familiar - this is by far my favorite of Nina's books. I always forget how rich it is - I remember the action bits, and how he deals with being shapechanged and the like, but there's a lot of personal interaction with friends and enemies and everything in between. Major personal growth for - at least 6 characters, there's a couple who get a shock but it isn't actually shown that it taught them anything. Really good book. ( )

I keep picking up Nina Kiriki Hoffman books hoping that she'll write another as good as this one. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened as far as I'm concerned. The first book of hers I read and the only one I re-read when I come across it. ( )

It was barely worth read. Dry and boring in most parts. I am surprised I ended up finishing it at all. ( )

Not serious, but not funny either. Characters sucked. ( )

Excellent. The hero accompanies an attractive stranger to her reluctant homecoming, is welcomed by the Powers, and under their direction marries her that day—but something is wrong in the Family. ( )
