Imaro by Charles de Lint, Charles R. Saunders
3.0
I really enjoyed the world, which didn't need a whole lot of worldbuilding to be really evocative. I also really liked the magic, which was light and didn't need a whole giant magic system to make sense.
It was a bit repetitive though, which I think made sense because from what I understand it was originally short stories. Read in installments it probably would not have felt so repetitive. Fitting in with the overall simplicity of the genre, the characters also did not have much depth, which would have bothered me more in something other than sword and sorcery. But I did wish the female characters had a bit more depth than just "loving Imaro more than anything."
