Summary: Intense pleasure-reading
Review: Alas, the very last one of the Thieves' World-novels. It makes you crave for more! The intensity with which the authors write is spell-binding in itself, and truly of all ages (future earth is here, as well as ancient Azehurean culture and the place of timelessness): treating human matters of responsibility, friendship, growing up and the difference/reconciliation of the sexes in a powerful, rounded way. Whoever has read other novels by the Morrises will know that here philosophy, religion and the occult are tested against the human heart. Splendid! I only wish Niko and Kama had grown up a bit more. Note: it took me five years to understand exactly what maat-issue was at stake, and when I did I still thought the book very much worth reading!
