3.5 stars.At first I was dubious considering that I was quite confused and left wondering what on earth was going on. But as the story progressed and the pennies dropped one by one, I found myself thinking that this was quite an enjoyable short story. If only it were longer! If the characters were m...
The beginning is a bit bewildering, and it reminds me of nothing so much as Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber.
