It's one of my quibbles with many fantasy & science fiction novels that the worlds created in their stories are very homogenous and simplified. In this, the most ambitious work by Clayton that I've encountered (and her last ‘Drums of Chaos' was incomplete when she died in 1998), there are not one but two incredibly complicated worlds, filled with different cultures and factions. It takes some attention to keep it all straight – but it's a really interesting premise and setting. I like, too, how not too much time is spent ‘explaining' the alien aspects of each world – the reader simply gets to experience it, and gleans information from context.
That said, this book is mostly scene-setting. We're introduced to many characters, and shown glimpses of their ruthless plots and ambitions... we worry about our young protagonists, unwittingly caught up in forces beyond their control... but not that much actually happens. ( )
