Another great mystery in a fantastic world with fantastic characters. Nice to see a lot of the returning side characters integrated so critically into the plot. Love this series.

I really enjoyed this Pen & Des novel - the sticky theology was good, plus Iroki was fantastic. Pen & Des, as always, were funny and delightful. And the plot surprised me a bit! I expected the first twist, but not the second.
