I was hoping for an extension of the noir world from Rowe’s short story about talking/sentient animals, but this was good too—in a world dominated by a quasi-Roman empire but also full of communicating animals, a fox takes a priest, a woman who hates the fox for being involved in her sister’s death, and various hangers-on in search of the gates of Hell. It is dreamlike and compact, and I quite enjoyed it.
My snap reaction to this work is that it's certainly very clever, and if I chose to make nominations for the Hugo next year it would definitely make my novella "short list." Your question is likely to be whether this story rises above feeling like the fragment of a larger work; in regards to the main character Quintus Shu'al, the story arc remains open-ended. I'd certainly like to see Rowe go further; while Quintus might be the only navigating fox, his name suggests that there were four before him. I would also observe that if you liked Avram Davidson's stories about Virgil the Wizard, you should, at least, really like this story.… (meer)
There was an interesting premise here that never became fully realized. The summary and prologue were far more interesting than the bulk of the story.

I also can't decide whether the elevator or the dragon was my favorite character.
