Brilliant and ambitious, Rezdin the Wizard has one goal: impress the king, but he answers to Baron von Dappenshien who refuses him access to Court. However, before Rezdin can maneuver himself into the limelight, the king arrests von Dappenshien for treason, and Rezdin goes to ground. The wizard finds himself dependent upon the wits and good will of one starving street urchin. But what can he offer little Tommy in return? When old dangers and new alliances rear their menacing heads, Rezdin must decide where his true loyalties lie, and what to do with his newfound entourage of one.

Whoa... Did I say less depth. Once you dig into this treasure you will find that it is anything but light reading should you want to spend time with it. Not to say that it is heavy, but it has complexities of society, structure and politics that you just might not expect to find, that you don't expect to find, and that shows that Mrs Arrington has spent a great deal of time on her world.
We encounter this world slowly with a piece peeled away at time until you are a third of the book and you think you know all, but there are still more layers that will be revealed. That is the artistry of Mrs Arrington, and worth your indulgence, should you be a fan of fantasy. It presents items in a new way, and also makes us want to know more about the background of our hero...
Yet the one fault perhaps is that there are so many POV characters to tell the tale, we learn about our hero in bits and pieces, and though the continuity of the story seems to flow along because the tellers each advance it a little, we want to delve further into the back story of this person or that, and only seem to get a taste here and then must wait a long time before that character is center stage and learn more about their life and motivation.
Still, despite never satisfying that itch to learn all about our leads, and having so many to be interested in, the tale comes to its conclusion. Will there be more? Can we think of how we would want the next chapter to play out in our mind as the dust settles, surely. Perhaps though we will one day have a prequel or a sequel and see what else happens here. ( )
