Review: As usual, great stuff from Ms. Lackey

I would have given a 5+ star, but it wasn't possible.  This book in the 500 Kingdoms series has got two great overlapping storylines, one to do with the Greek gods and another to do with a pair of adventurers being dragged (literally) into the middle of the Greek tale.  The adventurous pair are characters continuing from an earlier book and that annoying Tradition must be appeased at every turn for the adventuring couple to secure their freedom.It's a terrific mess and only Lackey could have made it fun, painful, ridiculous, and bleak, yet eventually made the Tradition happy enough to force it to give way.  A fun read, great characters and challenges.  This is a delightful series and this particular novel is a gem.
