Fairs' Point by Melissa Scott
5.0
If you liked the previous books, you will like this one. Astreiant is unique and wholly realized, if somewhat opaque at times. Rathe and Eslington are earnest, diligent characters that are instantly likable. The mystery is engaging.
My only complaint would be the editing. I don't think Melissa Scott's new publisher is doing her any favors because there are a dozen very obvious typos that an editor should have caught: missing or misplace quotation makes, repeated words, "it" instead of "is." These were disappointing as they pulled me out of the flow of the story. Despite these bobbles, Scott still has the same strong writing style from the previous books.
