Comments: 3/12/14: A good writer, but perhaps an over complicated story. I found it at time a bit too complicated, and have had a couple readers return it saying either that they got lost, or that they got tired of trying to keep track. I've only had one student return it with enthusiasm. Amy, BMS

I liked this one - typical Fisher, a very rich, layered adventure story, nice history/tech/fantasy mash-up. I didn't find it complicated; I thought each character had a specific need/want which validated their reason for being there. The plotting kept me turning the pages. Yvette/Merrimack
