Review: Entertaining, indeed
Rating: 4 out of 5

There are, perhaps, a few places where the characters' past history and current personalities might not stand up to close scrutiny -- but the turns of phrase are quite deft, and the characters are simply _fun,_ so I'm not inclined to quibble. The faintest besmirching of the overall entertainment is a duel which has a slight jump and feel of "insert duel here" in the author's notes, but that's the only part which got my mind hiccuping.The other reviews cover details quite well enough, and the bits that I really, really liked, I can't say or it'll spoil the snickers. (There is quite a fair dose of humor here and there!) Unfortunately, the first of those is just _after_ the sample text ends.
