Review

This story lives up to everything I expect from Nix in these Hereward and Fitz stories. Being a bit longer than the others it gets into a more involved story and so does come off as more impressive than the rest. But it really is equal to the others. Not quite a great story, but thoroughly enjoyable and recommended.
