Review: Curiously captivating!

This story abounds in inventive and amusing details, and unfolds cleverly. In Lita Burke's magical world everything works by magic, and even a wizard's careless imprecations come to life. Sir Bright and Kadmeion must solve a curious riddle, and the mystery behind the riddle, and experience adventures and incidents so stacked one upon the next that the only possible way the structure can hold together is, yes, by magic! The ending finds an unexpected but satisfying resolution, and while it satisfies I felt that it could have been just a bit less hurried. Nevertheless, this is a wonderfully told story, with engaging and unusual characterization, in an extraordinary world.
