A standalone!! Hallelujah!
Bain's world is well realized and solid, with interesting magical abilities (I'm a sucker for thread magic). The love between Eve and Marit is obvious and touching, even though Eve isn't much of a character. The romantic relationship isn't given enough page time and so is abrupt when it happens.
