    Not a bad book, but Thomas the Rhymer was much better if you'd like to read an Ellen Kushner book. This book has has some swordplay, a little intrigue, a little romance, and a lot of perversion. Though not explicit, I warn all future readers. There is all sorts of debauchery practiced or viewed by the characters in this book.

    Then ending was lackluster and would have loved to see the main character go on to more ambitious things. Maybe there will be a sequel :)

    Is this helpful?
