A review by mjfmjfmjf
The Gypsy by Steven Brust, Megan Lindholm

3.0

Overly complicated but in an unusual and irritating way. The characters in the story also have an allegorical or perhaps archetypical component. So they fade out in mid paragraph and are the owl or wolf or raven or badger or whatever. And the evil fairy world is seemingly just behind the veil and also fades in and out but in the writing not in the world itself. There were some good bits to this book but in general it was not worth reading or rereading. But showing the flaw in the star system ... it's more like a high 2 than a 3.
