A review by bookstuff
The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg
5.0
I really liked this - the language, the atmosphere, the characters.
Can't wait 'til the next book.
I like the main character, Portier, because despite his feelings of inferiority, he displays admirable qualities: unswerving loyalty to his king, investigative competence, and the ability to stay focused despite being charmed by a pretty face. He has integrity.
Minor spoilers so I remember when I read the sequel:
Portier - will the next book answer questions about his own nature?
Ilario - leading man material deserves a starring role
Dante - is the change for real or for show?
Big Bad - motivation is way too fuzzy.
