Summary: I hope I don't Have to wait as long for the next Book!!!
Review: When I first saw that this book was coming out, I was ecstatic. I first read the her first two books years ago and I have been waiting for this book ever since. Hodgell has created a world that contains a perfect blend of exotic mysticism and gritty realism and then proceeds to breathes life even to even the smallest charecters. In Jame, Hodgell has created one of the most memorable and uncoventional heroines in fantasy. She rarely knows what she's doing or has the slightest idea how she's going to meet her goals but she always seems highly competent and unpredictable. Not even she knows what she is going to do next. Jame is also unusual in that her main relationships are with family, friends, or enemies; she has no romantic interest in her life and does not feel the need for one. The only things that mars her fiery independence is her deep need to forge a relationship with her brother, Tori. There is only one thing that mars my enjoyment of this book, the fact that de Lint's preface revealed that it had originally been published years ago with a very low distribution and I didn't know it.
