Another delightful edited by Navah Wolfe book.
This one took me longer than I would have liked to get through (Man, do I need this upcoming vacation).
But if you liked The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, this book will definitely win you as well. The main character reminds me a bit of Gen, but he's also a delightfully crotchety teller of tales in his own right and it's both exactly the story you think it is and not at all.
I really liked it and I'm looking forward to whatever Rowland does next.
