An Affair of Sorcerers

Summary: Mongo #3
Review: In this particular adventure of Dr. Fredrickson, aka Mongo we get a rather solid introduction into the world of ceromonial magic, as well as an interesting view of the lengths to which a quest can drive even a sane person.

I have found that the Mongo books tend to cycle between the odd and the Bizzare. In this book the majority of the story is a traditional detective story, abet with a twist since the client is a young girl... Not exactly the fare of the square jawed detective by any means.

The plot moves reasonably well, and the character development or exposition is fairly complete.

I do find this story to be one of the more depressing of the Mongo books, if only for the losses in Mongo's life.
