I'm an unabashed fan of Archer Garrett. Read Western World trilogy, Kratocracy and, now, just finished The Nine of the North. In addition to being a prolific writer (fortunate for me and other readers) Mr. Garret's near-mastery of The Craft shows itself once again in this series closer. I recommend all five of these books if you have yet to read any or if you are new to his name.Mr. Garrett, as I said in an earlier review--and I say again here for those who didn't read it--has a true flair for character development, for developing snd sticking with a plot, for good dialogue and for eliciting powerful emotional responses. In the Kindle versions I've read there are occasions where word order is inverted (or repeated) which speak more to proofing than to writing. Nevertheless, these break momentum and that is unfortunate because the momentum he develops can be VERY fast-paced. That's a weakness but not a fatal one.Treat yarn spinning, Archer! Thanks once again.Bob
