3.5

An enjoyable middle fantasy romp through found family and anti-bureaucracy, with an elder gay flair. I must confess, compared to some of Klune's other books (chiefly Under the Whispering Door) this one was not as impactful or consequential to me. I sometimes feel that it is overhyped, but I still intend to read the sequel.
