From the edge of the Elflands to the top of World's Peak, drawn together on a quest whether they like it or not.... "The first-rate world building, the unique cast of characters, and the author's clever whimsey make it absorbing reading. Recommended." -Booklist Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It follows the adventures of Lizelle, a roguish woman, in a medieval sort of fantasy setting. Near the beginning she leaves her lover, a local noble, and on her way out steals some valuables, including a nice necklace that’s actually significantly grander than she realizes.
She rides a horse with whom she has a telepathic link, and soon meets up with a big time rogue with mysterious skills and powers as well as a fat, merry monk who knows a bit about their paths in the future.
Once they figure out what Lizelle’s stolen necklace actually is, their adventures get more serious and their enemies more powerful.
The book isn’t great, with lots of openings for more stories or more in-depth stories about the relationships between some characters. For instance, does everyone in this world telepathically communicate with their horse, or is that special between Lizelle and Darkwind? If it’s special, and Darkwind is special, how did Darkwind agree to be ridden by Lizelle?
Some of the world’s gods had a few scenes where they looked at the people and once in a while popped into the world to manipulate, which reminded me of some of the movies I’ve seen based on Greek mythology.
The ending was too fast, without the good guys having to do much clever or mighty to vanquish their foes.
Overall, it was entertaining, but not ultimately very rewarding. ( )
