Hodgell takes some familiar fantasy elements: a mysterious girl training as a thief, a labyrinthine city of many gods, cursed artifacts, and uses them to build a lively, unpredictable story that bumps breathlessly along, twisting and turning without ever losing control. Would appeal to fans of Fritz Leiber or Barry Hughart.
