FANTASTIC novella, I absolutely looooved the perspective in this one. The difference in perspective from Kip and Tovo was amazing. Tovo is such a fun and surprisingly horny point of view. It was great to see how much he messes with everyone around him and has some history with the emperors as well. 

Probably my favorite of the short novellas I have read after The Hands of the Emperor - a definite must read.
