3.0 out of 5 stars Whittle away the hours, Aug 16 2006
By Loki Xombi "Nox" (Alberta, ED Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I picked this one up on a whim, since my friend had been bugging me to give it a try, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed. It's a neat and simple story about a young woman/sorceress named Sham who belongs to a secret group of magic using spies, assassins and thieves. A few decades earlier, her homeland had been a free and wonderful place to live, where magic could be used and cherished; now her home is under the rule of an oppressive regime, and almost all those able to use magic have been hunted down and killed.
Now Sham, the seductive thief, must ally herself with the ruler of the land, Kerim, in order to track down the demon responsible for murdering her mentor. Why would she team up with the people responsible for overtaking her home? Simple: the ruler is an attractive young man, and Sham will be able to gather intelligence for her thief guild while tracking down this elusive monster who is now attempting to kill Kerim.
It was an interesting book, but tried to cram way to much information into too small a book. The plot was easy enough to follow, but there was just so much superfluous information cramming up the story.
Not bad, give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining and exciting mystery!, Nov 9 2001
By S. A. Cain "librarian" (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic book! I read it in less than twelve hours, and that's with working and eating in the middle of that!

Where to begin? The characters are wonderful. Sham is a complex character, with a painful past but the strong will to survive it and move on. She is wily enough to survive life in Purgatory, the Southwoods slum, yet tender-hearted enough to learn to care for people she was used to hating. Kerim is humorous, regal, dangerous, and intelligent--all the things we want from a hero! The supporting characters are wonderful; Dickon, Elris, Talbot, Lady Sky all make the story better with their special personalities.

The writing is great. The dialogue is excellent, with witty repartee between the characters that is absolutely believable and absolutely hysterical. The description of surroundings and clothes are wonderfully detailed. I could see the action in my mind as I read. My one complaint about the writing would be the infrequent shifts in the third-person point-of-view; usually the POV character was Sham, but very occasionally is changed to Kerim, the demon, and a couple others.

The plot is intriguing...a demon stalking the halls of the Castle, with a thief/magician hired to pose as the Reeve's Mistress in order to solve the mystery. And though you may have suspicions about the demon's identity, your first two guesses will be wrong!

I highly recommend this book, and I am actively seeking out others by this author!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story, Aug 16 2001
A refreshing story about a mage/thief. Sham is a great character, strong, funny, capeable, and multi-talented. She could have been a bit more dangerous, in my opinion. Kerim is limited, but since the story is in 1st person, that person being Sham, he himself is less important than how she feels about him. The minor characters of Talbot and Dickon, and the selkie/stableboy add so much to the story.

The story of a homesick demon brutally murdering people was well written, and convincing. Sham goes undercover as Kerim's silly, and fashionably daring mistress. Sham's magic is the only thing standing between the magicless Easterners and a deadly demon. Definately try to get a hold of this one.
