A nice little short story set in the Hellequin world. As usual, a well thought out, intriguing story that introduces more monsters to the world. About the only fault I really had with this story was it didn't give enough time to expanding on what a summoner could do, or really let us see it in action.

I hope the next book is just as good, if not better. ( )

Fast-paced and engrossing. Pity about the profanity

Fast-paced and engrossing as always. Pity about the incessant, monotonous and anachronous profanity. In the first Hellequin book McHugh avoided carrying modern swear-words into the chapters which took place in medieval France - in this one, which falls entirely in the reign of Richard III, he seems to have forgotten that sensitivity to period. He is so inventive in his characters and situations that it is surprising that he can't come up with more than one word to use as an intensifier.

That said, he has come up with an intriguing take on the mysterious disappearance of "the princes in the tower". ( )
